[PCLOS] Sound card troubles


Recommended Posts

Hey.

In this PC I have two sound cards a Soundmax Intergrated Audio and a Creative Soundblaster X-FI XtremeAudio...

Both are recognised under PCLinuxOS 2007 by ALSA but only the Soundmax will work..

I tried changing the hardware position from HW:0 (Soundmax) to HW:1 (X-FI) And PCLOS accepts this, only there is no output. Messing around several programs have reported something about a Mixer not being present on the Soundblaster...

Does anyone have any ideas because it is confusing me to hell...

Thanks

Simsie :)

Sorted it: For future reference what I did was:

Download latest ALSA drivers (I used alsa-driver-1.0.16rc2 but just grab the latest. Turn the onboard sound off (where applicable).

Extract the alsa driver and in a terminal CD into the folder...

In the terminal:

su
./configure
make
make install

Restart the PC and it should start working automatically.
