I just joined this list. This is my first post. I bought a semi-pro soundcard (E-MU 1212 M PCI) to replace my SBL! 51. It was a hundred bucks, used, from L&McQ. So, it does not come with a manual. I have three things (at least) to work through: 1. No sound. I'm getting no sound out of it at all. gnome-volume-control detected the card as EMU APS [Audio Mixer (OSS)]. I guess semi-pro cards do not have a port called "speakers". The card is in two parts - the part with the PCI teeth has "EXTERNAL" (looks like ethernet), co-ax (RCA) S/DIF IN and OUT, ADAT and a six-sided port with some kind of nuclear power symbol beside it. The slave card (if I can call it that - no PCI teeth, just a ribbon cable to it) has 1/4" INs and OUTs and MIDI IN and OUT. So, the only thing that seems likely to take sound to speakers are the 1/4" OUTs. So, I hooked up a pair of cheap PC speakers but no sound is coming out. The speakers are fine, because I was using them last night with the old soundcard (SBL! 5.1). 2. Mystery driver. Another interesting thing is that gnome-volume-control reports a second card (or driver?): Soiund Blaster Audigy [Alsa Mixer]. Why would that be? I never had that card. There is an onboard card that I disabled in the BIOS a long time ago, and I took my SBL! 5.1 out this morning. 3. System Adequate? I ran commands to find kernel and alsa version. [chris@p733 chris]$ uname -r 2.6.5-1.358 [chris@p733 chris]$ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.4rc2 (Tue Mar 30 08:19:30 2004 UTC). Compiled on May 8 2004 for kernel 2.6.5-1.358. alsa-project bugtracker advises kernel 2.6.19 (I have 2.6.5-1.358, which I guess is an older version) and alsa-driver 1.0.14 (I have 1.0.4rc2, which I guess /is/ okay). Any ideas? Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
