Audigy and FPS 5300 rear speakers problem

[Jean-François Morcillo]

Hi,
I've just compiled alsa rc1 on my RH 7.3 box with a 2.4.18 kernel from
kernel.org and a 3.04 gcc.
I used alsamixer to unmute all channel and tried different audio
application but I can only hear weak sound on rear speakers, I didn't
found how to turn them loud ?
Please help me,

Thaks
Jean-Francois

Yes I've set it at the maximum value but it didn't change anything
Any others ideas ?
But what is exactly the status of this card ? is it totally supported ?

could you send me your /etc/asound.state?

try to remove /etc/asound.state once, reload the driver and configure
the mixer status again.

not totally.
but analog outputs and midi are working fine.

no digital i/o, no effects, no 24/96 support yet.

I would be pleased to do so, but I don't have any /etc/asound.state
file... May be I messed something ? I fact I haven't any asound.* file
on my hard disk.... It seems to be wrong 'cause readind /etc/alsa.conf I
saw a reference to a file named /etc/asound.conf...

It would be nice but as I didn't have such a file, it is difficult for
me to delete it ;)

Is it possible that a previous install of alsa 0.9 can cause such a
problem ?

Thanks again

Jean-Francois

/etc/asound.conf is the configuration for defining your own pcm or
controls.  /etc/asound.state is used to save and restore the status of
mixer and controls.
it's a bit confusing, because /etc/asound.conf was used for the
purpose of the present /etc/asound.state at the time of alsa 0.5.x.
anyway, if you have /etc/asound.state, better to remove it.

usually not.  a possible problem may be the files under
/usr/share/alsa directory...

anyway, can you once save your setting via "alsactl store" (as root)
and send me the generated /etc/asound.state to analyze the
configuration?
