- I installed the same sound card in another dell (different model) and got sound.
- I have tried RHEL 5.3 and Ubuntu 8.10.
- I have enabled and disabled the built in sound card in bios.
- I have an Audigy 2 ZS (emu10k1 driver) and that works
So, the only difference I can tell between the two systems is the motherboard. (OS and Sound card is the same.)
My ALSA information is located here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=eca8c5b6634fc79f4dc1778514c919ed6e3e46d2
More info that might helpful:
aplay -D <device> /usr/share/sounds/email.wav
With the built in (intel) sound chip the command runs and returns almost immediatly and I can hear sound.
With the Audigy card, the command hangs. Verbose output (and strace output) from the command is listed below.
Anybody have any thoughts on what to try?
