Sound Blaster 5.1

[Orioner]

Cannot configure this to work. No sound. Have tried to configure in KDE and Gnome. No sound when booting. Anybody else have this problem?

[LordMorgul]

Should be supported by the emu10k1 kernel module, is it being loaded? lsmod | grep emu
Does the hardware show up on the PCI bus? lspci | grep Audio

I haven't yet tried F10 on my desktop system with SB Audigy, so I'm not sure about whether its working or not. ;-)

Run a decent diagnostic, as used in #alsa on irc.freenode.net - steps:

wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh
bash alsa-info.sh

Will save us asking the next 20 questions.

Thanks Breb - going to that site overwhelmed me with the size and complexity of required actions. Might be a case where the cure is worse than the disease, eh? I'll save you the next 20 questions.

See steps above. However, the script's uploading is currently broken it seems (probably related to the ALSA site being down a couple of days ago), so run it with:

bash alsa-info.sh --no-upload

Then paste /tmp/alsa-info.txt into a pastebin site such as pastebin.ca, and state its URL.

File in /usr/bin and can't send it as too big (15513 characters) - getting a little lost here, how do I upload to pastebin.ca and then?

[brebs]

This is rapidly turning into a comedy of errors.

The wget command isn't downloading the script, although it did work an hour ago. I've rebooted my PC after informing in #alsa, so maybe they're in the process of fixing it.

Anyway, for now, here's a copy of the script.

I had a problem with my 5.1 after updating , after rebooting all the sound settings were muted and needed resetting .
