I have asked this before and still can't get the problem fixed so here we go
again.
System specs:
AMD Athlon 1.4
512 meg PC2100 DDR RAM
Nividia Geforce Ti200 agp video card
Realtek NIC card
WinTV tv card
SB Live 5.1 sound card
Running Debian Sid with alsa 0.9.0beta10 compiled from sources
alsamixer volumes are all at 100% and unmuted
ran snddevices script in alsa-driver dir
nothing in modules.conf as of now
kernel 2.4.16 with sound compiled as module
here is what lsmod shows after first booting:
# lsmod

 then when I do modprobe snd-card-emu10k1 I get this:
# lsmod

but I can get no sound. I try aplay /some/wav/file and it acts like it is
playing bu no sound I am using only the digital out jack connected to a
Cambridge Soundworks DTT3500 system. When I start X I start to get errors
like these in /var/log/damon.log:

I have gkrellm running with xmms and the volume plugin but the volume plugin
dosen't start but I can type gamix in a termenial window and get it to come
up. If I try to play a mp3 with xmms it also acts like it is playing but no
sound.
At startup there are to scripts being ran /etc/init.d/aumix (which I think
debian installed) and /etc/init.d/alsasound (which alsa installed)
Does anyone else have a similar set-up that would be able to give me some
pointers as to have I can get this working. I hae read as much docs as I can
find but no luck.
Thanks for any help and sorry this is so long.
Brad
