This is still a problem in 10.04 AM64, which I have just installed. Whoever maintains the ALSA part of the project, has not installed the firmware drivers as a package. A workaround this is to download the latest firmware from the alsa-project website ftp://ftp.alsa- project.org/pub/firmware/alsa-firmware-1.0.23.tar.bz2 . Compiling and installing it should imo do no harm as it only generates the binary firmware files and copies them to locations where the driver itself is expecting them to be.
But for a specialist distribution like Ubuntu Studio, the firmware should be installed by default. -- Alsa No firmware for EMU card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Testers, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Studio.

I access to alsamixe, play sounds, run Jack in RT 48KHz. (I'm not sure it's fully fonctionnal, because in previous realease I was on Ubuntu-studio 8.04LTS with beta ALSA drivers for my card, so I can't compare). dmesg log : [ 23.220586] EMU10K1_Audigy 0000:01:0a.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC1] -> GSI 16 (level, high) -> IRQ 16 [ 23.220683] emu1010: Special config.
