Audigy LS Sound distorted + root only

[Coppermine]

It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How?
I installed the CVS drivers through this page: AlsaCVS (change emu10k1 in audigyls and remove usbaudio)
But that didn't solve the problem...then I found this page FedoraNEWS.ORG Made a file called asound.conf in /etc and a file .asoundrc in /home/$user and /root/ with the following contents

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "swmixer"
}

pcm.swmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1234
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 44100
}

And it works , although Soundcard Detection still ****s up, everything else works...so i'm a happy man! Thanks for all your help!!!

A little update:
I figured out that gstreamer doesn't like ALSA. Since all gnome-apps use gstreamer for sound output every app has distortion or even crashes.

Solution:
I'm now using ESD for everything...configure gstreamer for ESD with Preferences->More Preferences->Multimedia Systems Selector
mplayer/xmms/gaim are able to use ESD, so my problem is sort of solved. Too bad gstreamer doesn't like ALSA though, maybe in Gnome 2.8

Same problem here!
I have an audigy ls soundcard,
I have installed alsa-driver 1.06.a and i got the weird noise (music is skipping, and the playrate is a bit to fast).Plus i have not a Ditigital1 or Digital2 channel when i go to my audio preferecens but two voices "Sigmatel STAC9721/23(oss mixer)" and "AUDIGYLS(alsa-mixer)".
I follow the tutorial by foolish step by step, then installed the ultimate driver alsa from cvs like Coppermine indicate, but i have the sound disturb yet and gnome volume control won't work!!!

Anyone could help me plz?
I am a bit frustrated seeing my new sound card not working on fedora!
thank you very much in advance

cheers

Seems like they're doing a lot of work on gstreamer:
http://www.gnomedesktop.org/article....rder=0&thold=1

There's a link to a repo with gstreamer updates as well... worth a try, i guess

Has anyone succeeded in getting full surround (5.1) with the audigyls module? I'm only getting output through front-left en -right speakers
