I assume you downloaded the stuff from http://opensource.creative.com/
and followed the instructions there.

I had a similar problem, but as it turned out it was a matter of the
volume control panel. Playing with it switched it on - eventually.

I tried playing with kmix, still no sound.

emu10k1 sometimes doesn't talk to kmix (or aumix) well, esp. for digital
(SPDIF) speakers, line-in and cd-in. Compile the little dm utility (it
came with the emu10k1 drivers from creative, in the utils subdirectory).
Then execute "dm unmute" and then "dm 75" (or anything large enough up
to 100). Now try playing with kmix.
	Good luck

I downloaded the latest driver, libs and utils, did "configure" and
"make install" for each of them, yet when I run amixer it says:
"The ALSA sound driver was not detected in this system." What can be
wrong? Is it OK that I don't have the /dev/snd directory?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Yes, I am running an SMP machine. I tried booting in linux-up (losing
one CPU), but when I run "amixer", I get the same error: "The ALSA sound
driver was not detected in this system." as with other kernels.

BTW, are there sound cards supported by SMP kernels? I should probably
demand that Dell people send me a new sound card (they sold us this
pre-installed Linux box)

Thanks!

Hello,

What model card do you have?  Some have a shared analog/digital outputs
which aren't support yet. If you have digital speakers this may be your
problem.

So far that we know of, these models are have these types of outputs:

-SBlive cards shipping with Gateway computers
-All 5.1 cards 

do we need to add Dell?

That doesn't exist. The device files you need are made by a utility
that alsa supply (called snddevices?). What you need is to load
the drivers. If you don't want to do it by hand, you have to edit
conf.modules and let the kmod daemon do it for you.

It sounds like you need to read the instructions again!

Here is an appropriate module structure (minus the oss stuff)

snd-ens1371             8808   0
snd-pcm                28000   0  [snd-ens1371]
snd-timer               7304   0  [snd-pcm]
snd-rawmidi             8152   0  [snd-ens1371]
snd-seq-device          2796   0  [snd-rawmidi]
snd-ac97-codec         22256   0  [snd-ens1371]
snd-mixer              22180   0  [snd-ens1371 snd-ac97-codec]
snd                    32504   0  [snd-ens1371 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer]
soundcore               2040   6  [snd]

And here is the conf.modules business that corresponds:

# ALSA sound settings
alias char-major-116 snd
# ALSA portion
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371
# OSS/Free portion
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
