Emu is part of creative so in a way it is correctly seeing the card but when I try to set volume threw alsamixer the card does not have 5.1 speakers and I am using standerd two speaker setup. I get all of the settings correct save them using alsactl store then when I play a wav or au files using play file.wav I get no sound at all and no errors from sox. Its like the file is playing but the soundcard is not processing the audio. I upgraded to this professional soundcard that has both wdm and asio driver support in windows xp professional sp2 because I do 24-bit audio editing in soundforge 8.0. I have two remoable harddrives, one for windows and one for linux so the two operating systems can each be on their own drive because I could have installed both on one drive but I like to seporate them so if I need to take windows into be repaired if I should ever need to do so linux won't be touched. One note, I lost one linux system completely because of this very reason, restored windows 98 from a ghost image and the swap and linux partition were lost completely, the harddrive whent from a 13GB windows partition to a 27GB partition so that is why when I upgraded to windows xp a while agoe I used that drive as my windows drive and got a 80GB drive for linux. I am just passing along this information so others won't need go threw whent I whent threw with lousing linux. bye -- My web page is at http://www.nickgawronski.com.
