Find file emu10k1.conf. Default location is in /usr/share/confcards/. For
FC4 is in /etc/alsa/cards.

Check if in this file is this:

{
       interface PCM
       device 0
       name "EMU10K1 PCM Send Routing"
       index { @func private_pcm_subdevice }
       lock true
       optional true
       value [ 8 9 0 0 8 9 0 0 8 9 0 0 ]
}

If you don't have this in emu10k1.conf file, you have old alsa-lib and you
should upgrade alsa-lib, or copy this file from alsa-lib 1.0.10.
