    No sound with Audigy 1

    I have a sound blaster Audigy that I'd like to use as my default sound device. Since I'm running on an nForce4 chipset, I also have an integrated sound device on the motherboard. After finding the Comprehensive Sound Problem thread, I've managed to set up the Audigy at index 0 and the integrated device at index 1. (Aside: Why is there no GUI setting for this anywhere?) All of that's fine and dandy, except I'm still getting no sound out of the Audigy.

    aplay -l gives me this:
    Code:

    cat /proc/asound/modules gives me this:
    Code:
     0 snd_emu10k1
     1 snd_intel8x0
    Mixer settings look fine (everything max volume for testing), the media player's set to use alsa output (and further set to use the Audigy specifically just in case), yet still no sound. The card works fine under Windows.

    I'm using the 64-bit version of feisty, in case that matters.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Re: No sound with Audigy 1

    OK, I finally solved this issue.

    The problem was that the card was using the digital output jack by default. Moreover, the default volume was very low (zero for the rear speakers, even), so at first I couldn't even tell that it was working. I may even have come across the right settings several times without noticing.

    Anyway, issue resolved.
