But I notice there is no output for amixer. Do you have alsa-utils installed? And when I look at the output of alsactl, all of the volumes are 0, muted. Have you tried turning up the volumes? After you install alsa-utils you should be able to run alsamixer in a console or terminal. Or even from a menu. In Gnome it is Applications->Sound & Video->ALSA mixer. I'm sure the equivalent exists in KDE. Maybe it is there already before alsa-utils. Sound is muted on initial startup, so will be silent until you turn it up. It looks like your card is being recognized. Again, in a console (Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6], Alt-F7 gets you back to X) or terminal type aplay -L to see if any formats were configured. Here is what it looks like on my system: default:CARD=Revolution51 M Audio Revolution-5.1, ICE1724 Default Audio Device front:CARD=Revolution51,DEV=0 M Audio Revolution-5.1, ICE1724 Front speakers surround40:CARD=Revolution51,DEV=0 M Audio Revolution-5.1, ICE1724 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Revolution51,DEV=0 M Audio Revolution-5.1, ICE1724 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Revolution51,DEV=0 M Audio Revolution-5.1, ICE1724 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Revolution51,DEV=0 M Audio Revolution-5.1, ICE1724 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Revolution51,DEV=0 M Audio Revolution-5.1, ICE1724 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Revolution51,DEV=0 M Audio Revolution-5.1, ICE1724 IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) Hope that helps.
