Andreas; Have you installed emu10k1? emu10k1 is on one of the disks, along with all the alsa buttons and bells that are (IMO) overly complex. If you didn't install the driver yet you'll never get anywhere. I've done the same thing with that exact card while upgrading systems for a couple of friends, and for my son. Once. :-) You've already done the hard-drake thing so once you install the driver you should be set. It will probably require a reboot, or you may be able to use the Mandrake Control Center>System>Services to start sound if you're into GUI tools. Especially since you'll probably be in there to install the driver. >From the KDE Control Center>Information>Sound on my old clunker with SB Live Value Digital (the old CT-4830 "4.1" Digital out version): Soundcard Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.9rc2 emulation code) Kernel: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.19-16mdk #1 Fri Sept 20 18:15:05 CEST 2002 i686 Config Options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: SoundBlaster Live! at 0ex400, irq 10 Audio devices: 0: EMU10K1 (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: 0:EMU10K1 MPU-401 (UART) Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: mixer00 Relevant portion of output from lspcidrake -v: snd-emu10k1 : Creative Labs|SB Live!
