Fedora and SB Audigy issues

[rSmEt]

if you join #linux-noob on efnet we can help there in real time.. I'd be willing to guess your mixers aren't turned on and also turned up. Run alsamixer or use the gnome version of it to turn them up

 

EDIT: sorry i'm a dumbass and hit the wrong button :/ stupid me.. but ya try turning up your mixers

 

NOTE TO OTHERS:

 

he was having trouble with his sound.. Well there wasn't any.. everything looked ok. linux was picking up his card

 

here's the original post restored 

--NOTE-- I posted this in How do I? but that was before I noticed this special Fedora thread.

 

I recently installed Fedora Core 3 to expierment with it. Unfortunately I am unable to get sound.

 

Kernel - 2.6.11-1.14_FC3

SoundCard - Sound Blaster Audigy

 

 

It detected the soundcard without a problem but when tyring to use xmms to get sound nothing happens. I went into the control center i tried hitting the test sound but nothing happened.

Creative's website doesn't list a driver for my Audigy card but I figured a fairly popular card such as the audigy would work in Linux. I also tried using my onboard sound (nForce2 chipset) but that also failed to play back anything so I removed the configuration. Any help is much appreciated!

 

I did find a website guide of a guy showing the options he selected in order to get his audigy card to work as well as updating ALSA. Unfortunately all the kernel guides I find don't help me get the proper source together to re-compile the kernel so I don't know how. I tried just updating my ALSA stuff but that didn't resolve the issue. I'd be willing to even have someone SSH into my box and help me if anyone is willing. I'm desperate sad.gif

 

EDIT-- Also note that I did do the *fix* to get mp3's to play properly in xmms.

I went into the alsamixer and ensured the master volume was turned up and what not. I still was unable to obtain any kind of sound though.

i know with my sblive.. its not just the master. I have to turn up the pcm values.. generally i un-mute and turn up the first 5 or so values

Got the issue resolved and I now have sound.

Thanks to hijinks for his assistance as well as anyweb.
