Hi,

Slackware 10.2 / Creative Audigy 2

    I just compiled the new 2.6.16.19 kernel, having upgraded from the
2.6.15.4 version because of a mildly annoying bug. All the past times
I've upgraded, I've chosen not to not compile in alsa support (but I
have included sound card support), opting to instead compile separately.

    However, this latest time I haven't met with much success. I first
tried installing it with the latest 1.0.11 drivers, but I get an error
when trying to start the alsamixer (see below), and only get stereo
sound (as opposed to the 5.1 sound I got before I upgraded my kernel).
Reverting to my previous 1.0.10 drivers hasn't fixed anything. At this
time, because of the bug fix, it's not practical to revert to my older
kernel.

When I try to run alsamixer, I get the following error:

alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

    A google search on the above error didn't generate any useful
results. I'm at a little bit of a loss here, and would really appreciate
any sort of help. It seems my upgrade had something to do with it, but I
compared my previous .config files, and I can't see anything too
different (although there were some changes made).

    I'd really like to get my woofer, center, and rear speakers back
online - it's not the same listening to music without a good bass line...

Many thanks,

Victor
