For those who may have encountered problems with no sound coming from this card under ubuntu Gutsy-Gibbon 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22-14-generic), here's the solution that worked for me (could work with other distros as well, but i can't test them all) Download the latest version here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page After that, do the following in a terminal: to make sure all will operate correctly, do the following, before any install $ sudo apt-get install build-essential and after that you do that: $ cd <to_where_you_downloaded_the_alsa-drivers> $$ tar xvzf alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2 $$ cd alsa-driver-1.0.15 $$ sudo ./configure $$ make $$ sudo make install reboot, and it should work Another thing, you must deactivate in the volume panel EC958, if it is activated, and use only analog settings (front/center/side/rear, depending on your speaker setup, chose only analog front for 2.0 speaker system). You may have to go into edit-->preferences (into the volume panel) to have the volume sliders enabled for analog. You may use (although not tested) the digital settings, if you connect your card to a digital sound system through the digital output of your soundcard. That's the way it worked for me. So don't throw your soundcard over the window, there is a possible solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
