ok i did all that and have some sucsess... but still probs. what i did is at the end of this email... but what i found is below..
i am using the 3rd port on the back of the audigy 2 which is meant to be front left and right when you have a 2 speaker set up like i have. but no sound came from that. i plugged the speakers into the digital out port and got the sound with a lot of static etc (which is meant to happen when you dont have digital speakers) so this means it is kind of working. i also found that plugging my speakers into the rear left and right port or even the subwoofer port, i got clean sound. so it kind of works. but... the sound keeps giving little popping sounds and the bad thing is it just stops after a few seconds... then you have to re start the application you were using to play sounds. this was consistent behaviour... and as i said, sound out of the subwoofer or rear port only. Are there configuration things i have to fix? how can i fix this popping and stopping issue. and... how can i switch cards to card 1 (yamaha) when i want to. Thanks for your help.. what i actually did.... i got the driver, libs utils and kernel from cvs all into the same dir as dirs for each. then i did the ./compile for the drivers, then make install for the drivers and then repeated for libs and then utils (don't know what i was meant to do with the alsa-kernel though). i also made sure that /usr/src was set up with two sym links, one called linux-2.4 and one just called linux, both pointing to /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14. as you can tell, that is the kernel i am using (out of the red hat cds). i did not set up any kernel .config file in the /lib/modules/2.4.18-14 which was nesesary for installing the cvs of emu10k1 that i mentioned earlier. but i imagine this would not be nesesary for the alsa stuff anyway.?? by the way... i did all of this stuff with ./cvscompile and make install as root. hope this is ok?? it all seemed to work. the drivers took the longest to compile. then i changed the modules.conf with the audigy stuff for card 0 and the yamaha stuff for card 1. then unmuted. no sound. then i rebooted, and tried to run stuff like alsamixer and alsacntl but realised i had not done the ./snddevices step so i did that and all started to work ok... the mixerat least. i unmuted things in the alsamixer and stored them using alsacntl. but still no sound. that is when i tried the digital and rear / subwoofer ports and got some sound. -----Original Message----- From: J.

I must admit that I really don't know, I have never taken the cvs that way. I think you would be better off re-downloading it as I outlined.
