audigy2 problem

[Pogwizd]

Hi,

I use gentoo 2.6.12 and I recently bought a SB audigy2 Value.
The card is working fine on win2k, but on my linyx system, the sound is not going out, and it seems to be correctly installed.
In the beginning, I thought that was mutte, so I used alsamixer to unmutte everything, but it is still not working

Can someone help me, thanks...

Here are my systems informations:

[variant]

even though you unmuted it the volume is probably still set to zero for master, pcm

[Pogwizd]

No, I checked again, but I have everything at 100 and nothing is mute (00), even the PCM

[Dapper Dan]

Did you run alsaconf? I think you need alsa-utils and alsa-driver for it to run. Once you have alsaconf, as root go:

/usr/sbin/alsaconf

Audigy2 is gonna want ca0106 module. Configure it for that and then run...

/usr/bin/alsamixer

Set volume controls. Once it sounds the way you want...

/usr/sbin/alsactl store

This will save your alsa settings so you don't have to reset them every time you boot. I run the same card with Slackware so I know it works. There was a time it sat on the shelf though... Goof luck.

[Pogwizd]

It doesn`t work, and I have an SB audigy 2 Value, so it is a SB0400

[Dapper Dan]

It doesn`t work, and I have an SB audigy 2 Value, so it is a SB0400

This is not telling us much. Exactly what did you do, and how far did you get?

[Pogwizd]

- I stopped all the alsa driver that were running (in case).
- I run "alsaconf"
It found my soundcard, "Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy 2 Value" with the "emul0k1" driver.
So I installed it
- I run "lsamixer" and set everything to the maximum volume, and unmute everything, the only muted thing was =>"Audigy Analog / digital output jack"
- I make 2 tests, one with an mp3 using "xmms", and another with a simple audio CD, using "mcdp" and it unfortunetely doesn`t work....

[variant]

"it doesnt work" what does that mean exactly? why am i even trying to help you?

[Pogwizd]

If you need more informations, please, tell me how give it to you. Thanks...

[whisker]

he's asking what you mean by "it doesnt work." are there any error messages? output? does it just halt? does nothing?
