-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cris, My best guess is that you have OSS drivers fighting with ALSA drivers for control of your sound card. It is not sufficient to compile and install the ALSA stuff, you have to be certain that the OSS drivers have not found and monopolized the EMU10K1 device. I had to recompile my kernel and say no to OSS in order for my ALSA drivers to operate correctly with my SBLIVE, and the chief symptom was the unknown device when running amixer.
