I haven't heard back from you since your first reply to my reply to Casey's posting. You commented about airfare and asked for details of my problem and I emailed you that I had posted the details over the last couple of weeks. I haven't heard back from you, so I thought I'd post again.
Below is the text of one of my last posts regarding my SB Live Value card, along with config files and sample output. In addition to that information I discovered that I was able to get sound from the microphone and CD inputs ONLY. Also, I've removed the SB and gone back to the Intel8x0 using OSS kernel modules for audio. OSS does work, But I really would prefer ALSA. If you're interested, I can post similar information from the intel8x0 ALSA drivers.
-----
OK. I've turned off my onboard Intel8x0 soundcard and installed a SoundBlaster Live Value (Digital) card. I've rebuilt the kernel (2.6.3) to remove the Intel8x0 and add the emu10k1 module. I've removed intel8x0 from everywhere I can think of. I've updated modprobe.conf and modules.conf to reflect the new card. I've deleted asoundrc and asound.state. I've installed the ALSA utils, libs and oss-libs for version 1.0.2. I've unmuted and increased the volume of Master, PCM and Headphone as well as anything else that might change the volume in amixer, but I still can't get any sound. I have only one error in my logs and it pertains to midi.
The card does work fine in Windows 2000.
Can someone please help me to get this card going? I've attached revelent files and output below.
Thanks in advance, Rick Knight ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
