Audigy 2 and Mandrake 9.1: No sound

[ralexand88]

I know this question has popped up a couple of time but after doing a search and trying a few of the suggestions, I am still coming up with nothing.

I have mandrake installed on as a dual boot with XP.
I have downloaded the latest "driver" and it appeared to install flawlessly. I then did this line --> "modprobe emu10k1" and I was returned to the prompt without any messages.

I started x and still no sound. I have also modified the modules.conf file as I was suppose to.

I am a complete newb and can't do anything without instructions in front of me.

I don't have a clue and I burned an entire day just trying to get my sound working.

Now I turn to you guys for help. Any suggestions?

Ok, my driver according to the sound configuration panel in the Mandrake Control Center is snd-emu10k1 (EMU10K1).

Using the troubleshooter I used all the command and have the following:
[scorpion@localhost scorpion]$ lspcidrake -v | fgrep AUDIO

That's pretty much it. I hope this help. Thanks in advance.

where did you get the new driver from?

do you have sound as root?

I had this problem with MD 9, all I did was addusr to the sound device directories and it was solved.

Simple, I know, but still worth a try.

Well, I'm not sure about Mandrake 9, but with 9.1 the sound is disabled by default. It can be annoying but it does this for some reason..... anyway, what I do to fix this is to (if using KDE) hit the KDE button, then Multimedia, then sound, then Kmix. In there, you'll get tons of sound volume thing for different devices. If you look up at the first device, hit the green button at the top, this should turn the sound on. But keep in mind, I did this in 9.1, not 9. I don't think it's much different, but it could be. But
give it a try anyway, it may work.
