Just as an update, when I try to use aplay to play a sound, I get this 
error:

[root@beall-dell-01 sounds]# aplay phone.wav
Playing WAVE 'phone.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz,
Stereo
aplay: pcm_write:999: write error: Input/output error
[root@beall-dell-01 sounds]#


So i'm guessing there's still a problem with the emu10k1 driver and this 
dumb oem card?

this will add the entry as emu10k1 (sb live!).  it seems that the chip

this is likely an interrupt problem.
if you set "pnp os" to yes on the bios, try to set it to "no".

but even without interrupts, you should be able to hear CDs.
this is a mixer mis-configuration in most cases.
you'll need to adjust the volume of "Line Playback" and unmute it.
in addition, the volume of "AC97 Playback" must be adjusted and
unmuted.
of course, "PCM" and "Master" must be adjusted and unmuted, too.
to hear WAV, "Wave" must be adjusted and unmuted, too.

I tried various different bios-settings, none did help

Everything unmuted and all sliders up - no sound (only the volume level of 
background noise going up and down when I move the sliders in the mixer).
Do you have any other ideas what to try next?

Dell OEM Soundblaster Live 5.1 with different PCI ID

[elchhome]

Hello Friends,

Dell ships since a month an OEM Soundblaster Live 5.1 (sb0200) with a 
different PCI ID

for original sblive you got 1102:0002
the Dell version has 1102:0006

I got  no sound with the actual version of the sound driver.
Could anyone be so kind to incorporate this into the source code?

I am willing to supply all information which is needed.
If the problem was allready dealt with by other threads, please don't 
flame me ;)

Thanks & regards
