what kernel are you using? what distro? did you compile the alsa-driver

alsa-libs?
Ok, perhaps I've been a bit sparse on informations.
Kernel: 2.6.15-1-486
Distro: Etch
Soundcard: Sound Blaster Audigy SE
chipset: CA0106
I'm using the alsa-driver from Debian, and I have installed alsa-base
and alsa-utils and alsa-libs
are you using the right chip? if you read the adequate webpages on the
alsa-website you can see that different soundblaster_cards need
different chips. maybe that is the problem?
I myself prefer to compile/install the driver-source (--tar.gz) as root
in/from the directory /usr/source/alsa directly into the kernel. that
works only if you install your kernelheaders and get rid of a small
'lockup-file' within lib/modules/kernel &&.
install as root alsa-libs and alsa-utils as well. on this way I got a -
really good!- sound immediately out of my soundblaster-card. the
on_board intel8x0 sound chip seems to confuse, when turned on *together*
with the soundblaster_card, my audio_programs. that 's the reason i
turned it off.
I think I would make it a module, perhaps because compiling it into the
kernel seems to be to difficult for me, but ...
by the way: did you put snd-ca0106 in /etc/modules ?
no, I will do so, and reboot.
