I do not think (also from what I read in that link) that you have the same problem as in that bug. a couple of things: - are you using analog or digital speakers? - if analog: in what channel are they plugged (there is a 1 and a 2 on your card, try to use 1, 2 colors as well, but too lazy to check;). - do you use alsa (type lsmod, do you see snd-emu10k1 there, or just emu10k1)? - IF you use alsa and have your speakers in second channel, you need to mute the "analog output jack" and increase the volume with "wave surround", use kmix or alsamixergui to do this. NOT aumix - if you use alsa and have your speakers in first channel, check if all is unmuted in kmix/alsmixergui, if still doesn't work, post output of amixer - if you want to switch cards, use the soundcard config in harddrake. the KDE settings have no effect at all on the driver you are using, just on what kde uses as output. To exclude arts problems, test your sound with xmms or some other non-kde program. d.
