Hi,
On my new computer I'm trying to set up my Audigy LS SoundBlaster
soundcard.
I have run alsaconf several times, chosing the snd-ca0106 drivermodule.
Alsaconf has found these cards:
hda-intel Intel Corporation 8210G
ca0106 Creative Labs SB Audigy LS
legacy Probe legacy ISA (non-PnP) chips
When I use ca0106 and a 7.1 speaker-system I get no sound-output.
When I use hda-intel and plug a simple 2.0 speaker into the onboard
soundcard it works.
But I bougth the extra soundcard and speakerset to get better sound, can
anyone help getting this to work.
The speaker set works, it is possible to plug in an external
sound-source (i.e. a laptop).
I hope it is just to set the soundcard up in the right way.

you could try to turn your intel_sound_chip off; somewhere in the bios
of your machine. that did the trick for me on my machine, working on
sarge 2.6.8_kernel with a soundblaster card working with the ca0106
chip. install -of course- alsamixer to be able to put surrounding sounds
a.o. on.
but: nota bene: the older versions of the ca0106 chip were bugged: see
the alsa_webpage. so you possibly have to compile a newer driver
(1.0.11) from /usr/src/alsa into your kernel.
hope this helps somewhat,
kind regards,
Thanks.
Still no sound, I disabled the audio in the bios-setup, and now I cannot
choose the Intel-onboard sound, so far so good.
Is there any log-file, that can give me a hint for whats (not)
happening?
/severino
maybe i am stupid to ask this: but, did you put on the sound with your
mixer?
Yes I did :-)
Thank you very much for the additional information. I will look into it.
But right now I do not have the needed time.
what kernel are you using? what distro? did you compile the alsa-driver
yourself or are you using the debian_version (built-in in the
2.6.x-kernels)? did you install alsa-utils and/or alsa-base and the
alsa-libs?
are you using the right chip? if you read the adequate webpages on the
alsa-website you can see that different soundblaster_cards need
different chips. maybe that is the problem?
I myself prefer to compile/install the driver-source (--tar.gz) as root
in/from the directory /usr/source/alsa directly into the kernel. that
works only if you install your kernelheaders and get rid of a small
'lockup-file' within lib/modules/kernel &&.
install as root alsa-libs and alsa-utils as well. on this way I got a -
really good!- sound immediately out of my soundblaster-card. the
on_board intel8x0 sound chip seems to confuse, when turned on *together*
with the soundblaster_card, my audio_programs. that 's the reason i
turned it off.
by the way: did you put snd-ca0106 in /etc/modules ? some logs you can
find in /usr/src/alsa/alsa_driver, if you compile your alsa-driver into
the kernel yourself. there may be other logs i do not know of.
kind regards,
you are welcome
