Hi, I rarely ask for help and usually figure things out myself but I am
faced with an issue here involving a recently purchased desktop.
My Dad recently bought a brand new Dell 4700 Desktop machine with MS
Windows XP pre-installed. On his request I added a IDE hard drive into
the machine onto which I installed Fedora Core 3 and made it into a dual
boot machine.
Everything works fine except for the Creative Soundblaster sound card.
According to Dell's hardware list for the machine and according to the
Windows XP devices manager the card is a "Creative "Soundblaster Live
24-bit" PCI sound card. Also referencing the model number stamped on the
bottom of the card itself it is a "Soundblaster Live 24-Bit"
However when I ran "lspci" under Linux it reports the card as a
"Creative Soundblaster Audigy LS". So I downloaded and built the
appropriate ALSA modules with Audigy LS support inserted them into the
kernel, ran "lsmod" to make sure things were in place and I got
bupkis... no audio, no sound, nothing...nada...zilch!!!
Since I have checked the Creative website for info and I have googled
around for info on the "Soundblaster Live 24-Bit" but I've come up
relatively empty concerning any Linux drivers for this card or workable
solutions. Has anyone out there got a similar card to work ?
Does anyone have any ideas or has gotten such a card to work under
Linux ? Or will I need to replace the card with a card that hjas better
Linux support.. Any recommendations. It's kinda embarrassing when the
Windows side has perfect sound but the Linux side has no sound at all.

Thanks in Advance
Mylar
