 |
|
Does anyone know how to get a Creative Sound Blaster 24-bit External USB Sound Card device to work in Gentoo? I know that when I started the livecd it recognized the card and attempted to use it and I know that when I have it plugged in when I boot, the kernel loads it and KMix recognizes it, but no sound will come out of it. Anyone help?

I have the USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX.
I followed the [url]http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Creative_Sound_Blaster_Live_24-bit_external_(usb)[/url] - and it work great.
I played around with the /etc/asound.conf a bit, because I have onboard sound also.
here's all the info/files that I think are relevant:
2.6.14-gentoo-r5 #16 PREEMPT Wed Feb 15 21:55:44 EST 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000
media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.10-r2
| Code: | # cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.usb-audio {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.usb-audio {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1025 # Should be a unique number
slave {
pcm "hw:0"
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
