The resulting message is "No sound cards detected".

The sound card is working fine: my machine is a dual boot and when machine is booted with WinXP, the sound card works without any problems.
I have this exact problem. I had it with FC2 and now am having the same problem with FC3. Sound card works great under Windows (sadly)
Same here with Fedora Core 4 Test 1 and an integrated Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24 bit in my MSI K8N Platinum the output for my system-config-soundcard is: /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcard.py:75: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.FALSE is deprecated, use False instead self.box = gtk.VBox(gtk.FALSE, 8) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/system-config-soundcard.py", line 46, in ? app = soundcard.childWindow() File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcard.py", line 87, in __init__ self.device, self.module, self.maker, self.model = self.soundcardBackend.getData(card) File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcardBackend.py", line 106, in getData maker, model = string.split(description, " ", 1) ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack someone can fix this? Patrick can you change the version from fc3 to f4-test1? Hope someone can see it and fix it :)
It is an alsa bug, fixed in CVS and patch will be in version 1.09... Fedora Core 4 will have 1.09? Hope... https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=901
Some fresh news: alsa's #901 patch is already in 2.6.12rc1 FROM http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.12-rc1 <perex> [ALSA] Add support for Audigy2LS on MSI motherboard CA0106 driver Add support for Audigy2LS on MSI motherboard. Fixes Bug #0901 Signed-off-by: James Courtier-Dutton <James.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai> Fedora Core 4 kernel version 2.6.11-1.1191_FC4 has all 2.6.12rc1 patches (right?) and also alsa patch for MSI. So I've installed this kernel under my Fedora Core 4 test 1, now soundcard seems to work but still this issues: 1) gnome volume control panel won't open (I've used alsamixer to put up the volume) 2) if I play an audio file seems to be played well (with old kernel "no soundcard" alert popup), but there is no sound. I'm the only one that I've this kind of motherboard and Fedora Core 4 test 1????
Link to red-hat bug number 901 is UNRELATED, I think bugzilla make an automatic link without asking me... Bug number 901 is related to alsa driver, see comment #3 for the correct link :)
Ok gnome volume panel goes ok with 2.10 final. Now I play in xmms perfectly, trouble with tvtime, still no sound.
I have a similar problem with Soundblaster 16bit. Do the Fedora programmers realize the importance of sound? It works fine in Knoppix.
Seems that with Creative sound there is a problem that Creative doesn't provide documentation about its sound card to alsa project. https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1007 http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=14182 join Creative's forum and make our voice bigger!
Unfortunately, there's nothing that system-config-soundcard can do more. You need support for the card in the kernel, for it to show up as having a driver in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf (generated by kudzu, the original bug report had "unknown"), for system-config-soundcard to work properly. If you have troubles with this card, please open another bug against the appropriate component. Nima, an ISA SoundBlaster 16 problem isn't the same as a PCI SoundBlaster 24 problem. You might want to look at bug #127765 and bug #146888.
