No doubt I am anxious about getting this Audigy sound card working. I have tried all of the things I have found on the net including the ALSA site. The Debian etch software makes it sound so easy. Since the kernel didn't see the onboard sound card I disabled the onboard sound card. I don't even know what brand or type the onboard sound card is. After reading the ALSA site I decided to go out and purchase the Audigy since the Penguin said it was a good choice. It is most likely a configuration issue however what needs to be configured and how should it be configured. The ALSA process and documentation instructions can be somewhat difficult to understand and employ as they were written to help users of various distributions of Linux and not just Debian etch users. Sometimes I think a flow chart would be helpful to help follow and learn the various steps and files used to make all of this work. The install file is Gnome's Synaptic with ALSA 1.0-13 version which came with the recent etch set. I think I have all of the necessary packages installed to make this work. I posted an email yesterday with the specs of the kernel and various other parameters one might need to ascertain what the problem might be. If someone could please help I would be most appreciative. Thank you.
