It always redetected my soundcard properly. In soundcard detection there is a Creative Labs SB Audigy using snd-emu10k1 module... But Play test sound option produces nothing. In KDE I've tried to play a bit with the sound system and testing the sound and actually seing an output in the Arts Control Tool but still can't hear anything. I've also tried to activate the Sound Mixer applet and put everything up to make sure my volume was properly setup... still nothing.

I probably have the same problem, exept that I do get sound from the frount panel of my SoundBlaster Audigy, but just not from the back panel. I have turned up the volume on all channels. I also get the lines; > cat /tmp/xses-*.* | grep "ALSA" ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:494:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:494:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:494:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe FC2T2, kernel 2.6.5-1.332 Esben
I've installed FC2T3 and.. for the first time my audigy worked at first glance at first boot (in the config 1st boot gui)... Hence, I only installed KDE by default and when I logged in, no more sound... arts does not complain but can't ear anything.. even the system-sound-config tool does not play any sound anymore... even with everything up in the mixer applet. snip.
I was able to get my audigy working in run level 3 by running the alsamixer program, and "muting" the item "Audigy Analog/Digital output Jack". I think the driver is defaulting to digital output. KDE is still unhappy, though, but my setup is different: I've also got onboard audio (A7N8X-E deluxe motherboard, using snd-intel8x0 driver) that ALSA says is card 0. KDE insists on routing audio to card 0, no matter which card I select in the soundcard detection tool! KDE also forced the audigy card (card 1) back to digital output. Everything seems to work from command line - both cards work when addressed, doing what I tell them to. Hope this helps somehow.
Created attachment 100813 [details] My ALSA Mixer settings Everyting is at 100% except these 5 I cannot set (seems to be locked): TONE Mic Boost (+20db) IEC958 Optical Raw Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack External Amplifier
Still ain't working.. I've read a bit on 2.6.7-rc2 kernel and there seems to be a newer release of alsa (1.0.4) which might fix my problem..

I've tried kernel 2.6.6 and 2.6.7-rc2 hoping that the updated alsa drivers might help.... did'nt worked. I've also applied the latest ALSA driver 1.0.5a, libs and tools... still nothing.
I was also able to get my audigy working when "muting" the item "Audigy Analog/Digital output Jack" with alsamixer.
How do save the alsamixer settings so after reboot the "muting" is still present?
Finally my problem is resolved: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000327 You need to make sure that some channels are muted with the "M" option. Here is the info I got and it worked: ------------------------- These are switches - you can mute, unmute it using M key in alsamixer. Make sure that IEC958 Optical Raw4 Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack are muted (in alsamixer there should be MM above bars. make shure that these volumes are not 0 Master PCM Front - kmix seem to have bug and this kontrol not work in it - use alsamixer
How come this is not a bug? Nice but as soon I enter KDE these channels are unmuted again. It is not normal to mute these every time someone will reboot the box.
