Please help... How can I get any sound from an Audigy 2 LS and alsa-driver 1.0.4? I've tried lots of configurations but I always get total silence.
Using alsamixer (and alsa-driver 1.0.4 and Linux 2.6.5), I tried changing all of the approx. 40 channels to 100% volume. I unmuted every possible channel. The soundcard still remained totally silent. I then tried setting various channels to 100% volume, and setting the other channels to 0% volume and/or muted. I tried various combinations of channels with 100% and channels muted/0% volume: LFE PCM LFE Analog Mix Analog Mix Capture IEC* Sigmatel 4-Speaker Stereo etc etc The soundcard still remained totally silent as before. The obvious physical things have also been checked. The power is on. The fuse is ok. The 5.1 speakers are all plugged in. The three orange, green and black 2.5mm jack connectors are plugged into both the woofer and the Audigy 2 LS. I've tested the system with aplay and ordinary PCM samples aplay, asfxload (to load a soundbank), aplaymidi and MIDI files, etc. I don't get any sound from any of these tests. alsamixer usually shows 41 different channels. However, sometimes on very rare occasions, alsamixer shows 51 instead of 41 channels with the extra channels being: 4 extra channels named "EMU10K1 PCM Send Routing" and 4 extra channels named "EMU10K1 PCM Send" and 2 extra channels named "EMU10K1 PCM". I cannot test it in Windows because I don't have Windows, but the system was apparently tested in Windows when it was built and the soundcard worked ok. The MSI mobo has an integrated Realtek ALC655 which is unused (no kernel module is loaded for it). I hope that doesn't matter. My /etc/modprobe.conf has: alias char-major-116-* snd alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd major=116 cards_limit=1 I also cannot get any data from the MIDI port connected to a MIDI keyboard, regardless of the connections I have set up in aconnect. I have a Soundblaster AWE 64 which works fine with ALSA 1.0.4 and Linux 2.6.5. I get sound output and both MIDI input and MIID output are working ok. It's very odd that the Audigy 2 LS is apparently so difficult to use with ALSA.
