| 417155 | 2006-01-01 05:23:00 | I've installed 2006 free on its own drive, the install was all ok after swapping the ati card for nvidia. Now the sound only works through the the onboard sound which my headphones use. The pci soundcard is detected as a creative in the mandrake control centre, but when the troubleshooter button's pressed it shows it as a sis blah blah running the emu 10 k1 driver, so no sound through the speakers. Any ideas? |

A couple of things to try: As root, and in a Terminal Window enter in lsmod (note the l is a lower case L in that command). See if emu10k1 is listed. If you cannot see the driver listed amongst the loaded modules/drivers, then try this as root: modprobe emu10k1 See if that helps. |

| 417157 | 2006-01-01 06:46:00 | Hi Jen The module is running, you can lsmod or look in the running services & see its running. The problem seems like the operating system is confused. It sees the soundblaster & the emu10k driver as installed & working, but it's not. When going through the troubleshooting area it shows it as a sis soundcard. lsmod shows the ac97 & emu10k modules running. This wasn't a problem with le2005 |

| 417158 | 2006-01-01 11:14:00 | Hmmm, (don't know anything about this particular distro but). Is the soundcard showing up correctly in the output of the dmesg command. Try the alsaconfig command. |
