Public bug reported: Ubuntu is unable to detect my PCI SB Audigy (SB0090) sound card. aplay and lspci fail to report it. I would expect lspci to report it before I have any hope of getting it to work with alsa. I tried following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting but it seems to give up if lspci fails to find the card, and recommends submitting a bug.
I am positive it is this card because I have physically taken it out of the case and inspected it. The markings say: Model SB0090 Sound Blaster Audigy SB1394 EAX AdvancedHD Creative Audigy CA0100-1AF [1s are possibly ls] Creative Tech'01 1AA1RHJ It is firmly seated, and definitely works. I played music from Windows XP a few nights ago. Let me know if the following information is not enough to diagnose. Details that may be relevant: ------------ I installed Ubuntu via internet installation (text mode). I have additional onboard sound, but it is disabled in the bios. My motherboard is a Gigabyte K8N Ultra-9. ------------ $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 ------------ $ aplay -l aplay: device_list:215: no soundcards found... ------------ $ alsamixer No mixer elems found ------------ $ lspci 00:00.0 Memory controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 Memory Controller (rev a3) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 ISA Bridge (rev a3) 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation CK804 SMBus (rev a2) 00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a3) 00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 IDE (rev f2) 00:07.0 RAID bus controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) 00:08.0 RAID bus controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) 00:09.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCI Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) 00:0c.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:0d.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:0e.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:09.0 Mass storage controller: Silicon Image, Inc.
