Troubles with Creative Labs SB Audigy LS sound card

[ursusca]

Hello everyone,

I have Audigy sound card (c-media sb 8738 5.1 channel (CMI8738/PCI-6ch-LX)) on my gentoo computer.

lspci | grep audio
08:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS

I've got my sound card working through a couple of speakers but still struggling with 5.1 and microphone.

Any info, input would be appreciated.
