emu10k1 / Audigy 2 card on Asus A8N-e AMD64 mb

[adwsail]

I too am having great difficulty getting an emu10k1 / Audigy 2 card recognized on an Asus A8N-e AMD64 mb. Dmesg says card not found,
I get a device not found error on boot. LSPCI shows:

05:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value
Subsystem: Creative Labs Unknown device 4004
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 16

alsaconf correctly identifies the card but ends with this:

Running update-modules...
Architecture-specific modutils configuration for x86_64 not found, using defaults
Loading driver...
Setting default volumes...
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1254: No soundcards found...

================================================== =============================

Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

Have a lot of fun!

I have installed from alsa source as well as 64 studio default installation plus nearly everything pertaining to alsa. Still nothing

Even the basic mixers crash, for example:

64studio:/home/adw# amixer
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device

I'm at at standstill. I am running the latest 64studio with an emu1212m card which is the Audigy2 SB0400. Any ideas???

Judging from the utter lack of any semblance of a reply I must conclude I'm in the wrong forum. Any chance of a suggestion for a more appropriate forum?
