I compiled my kernel (kernel-source-2.2.17 & kernel-patch-2.2.17-ide) with the emu10k1 driver last night. Sound works. Woohoo!
I have a SB Live! Value card with the Cambridge Soundworks fp1000 speakers (4). When I play a CD only the front 2 speakers have sound. Are there any packages which test the back 2 speakers? How can I check them? Jonathan
