Hello all,
I've returned to Linux after a 5 year or so hiatus, and the past few months I've been using Ubuntu 10.10. Everything worked out of the box except audio. I was able remedy my problem by installing gnome-alsamixer and ticking a few boxes, as detailed in a forum thread here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-no...4-to-9-10.html
I recently downloaded the Kubuntu .iso and have been giving it a try from the live CD. Again, like Ubuntu, I got everything up and running except audio. However, now I can't use the Gnome-specific interface to fix my audio, and I've seen no relevant options under KMix or through the system settings.
I have what I thought was an "Audigy 4" (I could have sworn the box said so), but Ubuntu/Kubuntu recognizes the card as a SB0400 Audigy2 Value. I'll paste the hardware specific info obtained from the 'lshw' command below. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the audio working, I would greatly appreciate it! I really like KDE, and want to move over to Kubuntu, but I absolutely need sound to do so.
Thanks!
