'Twas brillig, and Gene Heskett at 03/01/10 21:56 did gyre and gimble: > a pacmd ls is quite verbose, about 17.5k and attached. From the looks of it, > it really should be aware of the Audigy2. Indeed it is. The HDMI card is turned off so it shouldn't be getting in your way and the Audigy2 is listed as "SB Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] Analog Stereo". I presume from this output that everything is showing up OK? Also how are you looking for your devices? I see you are running KDE as my module-device-manager is loaded. Perhaps the problem here is actually related to the KDE interaction... if e.g. "mplayer somefile.mp3" works OK and shows up in pavucontrol but e.g. amarok or dragonplayer does not, then this is probably indicative of that. If so, please open a mandriva bug report so I can track it. I notice from the arguments in module-udev-detect that you are using the more modern access mode. You could try disabling glitch-free mode in draksound to see if the older, interrupt driven mode will work better with the Audigy2. It's always worth trying although I am keeping my eyes on a possible regression with this interrupt mode: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537378 so be mindful of that.
