Creative Audigy LS not working on Slackware 10.2

Creative Audigy LS not working on Slackware 10.2

[ymc014]

Good Day!

I posted a thread a couple of months ago about my Creative Soundcard problem
and got a solution but I was using Fedora 1 then,now that I've switch to
Slackware 10.2 the soundcard is not working again.I've googled for this for
more than a week now and yet I am still unable to have it working.
I need your help.

Here is the difference:
         Before                           Now
Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz            Intel Pentium 4 2.0 Ghz
Fedora Core 1                     Slackware 10.2(kernel 2.4)

And here is what I already did as a result of my googling
and reading man pages:

-I already run alsaconf which automatically detects the soundcards on my
 system which are VIA 82xx(on board)and ca0106(Creative Audigy LS).Then I
checked
 the modules.conf,an entry was generated by the alsaconf command so I did
not
 touch it.
-I did lspci -vv and checked that my soundcard is listed.
-I did lsmod and it did find the creative soundcard.
-I also run alsamixer -c 1(when I do only 'alsamixer' the card being setup
 is the VIA 82xx,someone from my googling told me to do this and it did set
up my
 card correctly) and alsactl store.
-Someone from my googling demonstrated how he setup his card in Slackware
 10.1 KDE(using kmix and Control Center)so I switch to KDE(i'm using
 XFCE)just to see if mine works but nothing happens.
-Someone also suggested to check the setting of my xmms where i do all my
 testing and I already did,nothing happens.

I've set all the volume to max when I did the alsamixer command but I've
read elsewhere that you have to set to mute some setting,what are those
settings?

Also I've noticed that in volume settings when I do the alsamixer command
there
is no setting for Master and PCM for ca0106 but for VIA 82xx there are,is
this normal?

Please help me.


Best regards,

hcl

I generally use alsaconf as a last resort, though it does do a lot of
things automatically for you.

# modprobe emu10k1
# lsmod|grep emu10k1

Are the commands I use. I assume this is roughly equivalent to what you
have done (apart from using alsaconf).

Good.

cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp

Is a great test (It might be dsp1 for you). It should sound like bad
static, but lets you play with the hardware a little more directly :)

In alsamixer, look at the two letters under each "control." If it says
"MM," then it is muted. If it says "OO" then it is not. If it is muted,
hit the "M" key when that particular control is selected.

I'm afraid I don't know on that one. I hope that the rest of this helps.
