OK - running SuSE 8.1 with Audigy sound card connected to digital-only speakers. The machine reckons its an Audigy card, and also reckons its playing sound to me. But either its lying or I've gone deaf. I installed the emu-tools that SuSE supply in the distro, but couldn't get them running. So I removed that package and grabbed the latest from Sourceforge - same problem. It kept saying that I wasrunnig an incompatiable driver. I then turned of ALSA - maybe ALSA isn't compatiable with the emu-tools? But then the machine didn't even pretend that it was playing sounds to me, as it didn't have a sound server running. Then I got completely stuck. As you can tell - I'm a newbie. Any clues on how to get sound on my set-up without going completely mad? Andy
