Sound Cards but No Sound

[shirato]

after the upgrade to feisty, i tried to switch from my motherboards sound card to my soundblaster live 24bit card

however, i am now stuck with no cards

i tried to follow the guide at http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Compre...olutions_Guide

but when i run sudo modprobe snd-ca0106, i get the following error

FATAL: Module snd_ca0106 not found

when i do

cd /usr/src
sudo tar xjvf alsa-driver.tar.bz2
cd modules/alsa-driver
sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards=ca0106 --with-oss=yes
sudo make
sudo make install

the following error occurs when i sudo make

make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-386 SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-386'

Re: Sound Cards but No Sound

Stupid question time
#1 Did you disable the onboard sound in BIOS?
#2 Did you install the card and THEN disable sound in BIOS?
#3 Did you install the card, FORGET to disable sound in BIOS, rebooted and disabled sound?
#4 Is the card a known working PCB?
#5 Do you smell anything 'funny'? LOL!

Ok, #5 was for fun...

My procedure would be this.

Power off.. Remove card. Enter BIOS and ensure onboard sound is disabled. Reboot. Ensure in KDE there is NO sound hard ware.. power down. Install the SB.. Reboot.. See if the OS finds it..

My steps, your mileage may vary.

GL!

Re: Sound Cards but No Sound

Hey, I'm having exactly the same problem. Did basically the same thing you did, and got similar errors.

My card is working because I can boot to windows and I hear music and stuff coming out of my speakers.

I'm at a loss. It's an Creative Labs Audigy LS
