Hello list,
I have recently obtained a Audigy2 sound card and am having a few issues with it and I need some help/advice. I installed the card and went to packman's site and downloaded the new ALSA for SuSE 8.2. Installed it and tried to configure my sound card. Well it found it as a Audigy and I heard a pop through my speakers indicating that the system was trying to initialize the card. Tried to play a sound with it and all I got was silence. Well I went to opensource.creative.com and got the drivers there. I was able to compile them and after unloading the ALSA stuff out of the kernel, insert the module into the kernel. Well I got sound!
On the next time I brought the machine up, I heard silence. Repeated the procedure again and I have sound once more. So I modified the modunes.conf to load just the one I compiled and not the ones that come with ALSA. This did not work. It looks like that I need the ones in ALSA to initialize this card then install the one I compiled. My question is this, Is there a way to put the 2 togeather so that everything will play nicely? Or am I going to have to do this procedure when I want sound? Any help will be appreciated!
By default the volume levels on system are set to zero. I know it may sound silly but many (including myself) have done the "what's wrong" dance, installed new/various drivers, changed permissions, etc, etc..., only to find out that all the while the volume was set to zero and/or muted (usually just set to zero). I would recommend using gamix (though try kmix - if your using kde first for generic settings). Gamix is almost dizzying in the amount of parameters one can control - especially with the SBLive/Audigy cards. Check such things as anolog vs digital speakers settings and the various different volumes. The amount of options can almost become a problem in and of themsleves, until one figures out what controls what. HTH, Curtis. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/TkS1iqnGhdjCOJsRAhz8AJ0U4J5pwdOUhOjzF5/CiMeXTP7GhACfeE0h 4PJRj/uk4PZ27Ty6ezDo0vI= =E6kB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
