Ok, many apologies, point taken. It's a soundblaster audigy ona machine running kubuntu feisty which I changed from ubuntu. Kernel version 2.6.20-15-generic. It worked fine with dappper, but I upgraded yesterday and now I don't have sound. Not sure how to get alsa version, I think it's 1.0.13 , although that's what it says on alsamixer. (sorry I'm a little basic at this at the moment). Any ideas appreciated. Jonty On Wed, 1 Aug 2007, Arnold Krille wrote:

Now, the soundcard still works on my other partition; on Feisty we have 0 [Audigy ]: Audigy - Audigy 1 [SB0090] Audigy 1 [SB0090] (rev.3, serial:0x531102) at 0xcc00, irq 11 which is identical to dapper. I know I've posted beforut this but I've no idea what exactly is wrong. Apps say sound is going to the soundcard, but nothign comes out. If no-one replies, I'll leave it. I won't post again on this topic. Jonty On Wed, 1 Aug 2007, J M Needham wrote:

Many thanks. I'll do that accordingly. Jonty On Sun, 5 Aug 2007, Patrick Shirkey wrote:

I've had some weird microphone problems with a friends Audigy card. When I put a .asoundrc in his home directory it got solved. I really don't know if it will solve your problem but if you don't have any .asoundrc it can't hurt to have one. Just do this: cd cat > .asoundrc pcm.emu10k1 { type hw card 0 } ctl.emu10k1 { type hw card 0 } end it with a ctrl-C and try again. ref. http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+… regards, -- - Bengan ------------------------------------------ - KTHNOC http://www.noc.kth.se/~bengan ------------ - Office: +46 8 7906586, Mobile: +46 70 6443325 --- - sip:gorden@kth.se, bengtgorden(a)ekiga.net --------
