Linux newbie / sound card snd-emu10k1

[wprauchholz]

I just installed FC3 on my desktop. The hardware browser tells me correctly that I have a "Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10K1 installed. But I cannot get any sound. The test with soundcard detecion program is negative. Where do I have to start looking for? Googling was not a big help

I have the same issue with my SB Live! card.
After some testing and tinkering I found that the card own lineout will produce nothing, but the Live! Drive lineout does work.

Unfortunately did not work. A question for theexports. Is my modprobe.conf correct?
alias eth0 e100
alias eth1 tg3
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd

Try doing a search on these forums. There are a significant amount of related threads.

If you plug headphones directly into the soundcard output, so you get sound? If so, it could be that you have digital speakers. I haven't yet installed FC3 but try this... Double click the speaker icon in the panel(lower right) and have a look at the mixer. Is there something where you can choose digital or analog? I am hoping that there is so my exact same problem will be solved.

Hi CHAS.H. I finally was able to get sound, just by playing with all the knobs on yhe gnome-volume-control. In my case I had to increase volume of "WAFE" and "WAFE LFE"
