I'm also using an Creative 5.1 and I remember using the kernel bundled drivers without any problems, although I'm now running the ALSA driver package which I'd probably recommend you'd do as well. There is a good ALSA HOWTO on linuxdoc.org and ALSA drivers can be found at alsa-project.org But anyways, you should make sure that the card is not muted. I'd recommend trying out mp3blaster, just apt-get it and try to play a file. If it fails, something is wrong with your setup otherwise it probably is just muted in which case you can use mp3blasters mixer to unmute it if I remember correctly. Hope this helps, Tobias Bengtsson
