Description Frans G 2006-10-05 09:38:41 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; nl; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060913 Fedora/1.5.0.7-1.fc5 Firefox/1.5.0.7 pango-text

Description of problem:
My Creative SoundBlaster Live tends to conflict with my Onboard VIA Soundcard, though the onboard device is off in bios, Fedora still loads it and want to use us. Fine with me as long as the Creative card still works,

This however is not the case, when I want to set the default device to the Creative SB Live! Emu10k1, I can't pick a PCM device so I won't have any sound.

Modprobing the snd-emu10k1 modules works fine, but I really can tell what i'm doing wrong here.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 X64

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Booting up.
2.
3.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2006-10-05 09:48:27 UTC 
Do you have this SB in an ISA slot? Modules for ISA cards aren't loaded in FC5
during boot (don't ask me why).
Comment 3 Frans G 2006-10-05 09:53:45 UTC 
No it's a PCI card!
Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2006-10-13 15:02:24 UTC 
please attach /root/scsound.log (if it doesn't exist, run
system-config-soundcard and it'll create it)

It looked fixed, i saw 3 PCM devices and the sounds worked fine. Booted today,
all gone ;x
Comment 7 Martin Stransky 2006-10-23 11:04:59 UTC 
Hm, it's quite strange. Could you attach an output of dmesg?

Can you attach /etc/modprobe.conf?
