I had to get a new driver for the em101k in order to get proper usage

After downloading/compiling the driver, though, I can't complain about
the sound or CD playing...
I've also been using XMMS to play my audio CD's through - I'm sure
you've tried that already - but a question to ask now is have you tried
it under both Gnome2 AND KDE to see if the different sound engines have
something to do with the issue?
Actually, yes, I have. Under windows, I would have 2 different volume controls
for CDs.. I would have CD Audio, and Digital CD. playing with the CD Audio
volume would result in no change from the Standard cd player, but messing
with the Digital CD volume would.. unfortunately, I can find no mixer control
that even remotely sounds like it would be the Digital CD volume.
I am also using the latest 9.0 alsa drivers directly from the alsa-project.org
website. Is there another set of drivers you recommend?

Aside from the ALSA drivers - which is the engine by which your card's
driver communicates to the system, there are some updated Soundblaster
Live! drivers (the emu10k1 set) along with tools/mixers that can be
obtained at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1
(I keep typing em101k, but it's emu10k1 - sorry - rather brain dead -
but what else can you expect from a 40 year old with two children home
for summer holidays?)

Good morning, fellow employee. You'll notice that I am now a model
worker. We should continue this conversation later, during the designated
break periods. Sincerely, Homer Simpson.
