I have a soundblaster live value and have followed the directions in the article in the SuSE sdb called "ALSA update for SuSE SuSE 6.4/7.0/7.1 and do not have sound. After the alsa update my card was recognized by alsaconfig. However when it trys to adjust the volumes and change the mixer it fails. No asound.conf is created. Here are the error messages. I have verified that the sound drivers are loaded. They even say this using "alsasound status". "Could not initialize..." "No mixer config in the /etc/asounf.conf. You have to unmute your card. Mixer 0/0 'open error." I've even tryed manually unmuting the mixer and even accessing it via amixer but I always get the message about the "Mixer 0/0 ' open error. Even when I try different device names this happens. Thanks.
