Unfortunately, Dell ship at least some of their computers with something that's called a Creative Sound Blaster Live that *isn't* compatible with the SB Live everyone else sells. See Q. C2 on http://opensource.creative.com/sc_faq.html for details. Does lspci -n | grep 1102 return anything? If it does, do you have an 1102:0002 (good), an 1102:0006 (bad), or something else? (You'll probably have an 1102:700x as well...) If you have an 1102:0006, you've got one of the non-standard Dell variants. Support is ifdeffed out in /usr/src/linux/sound-2.6.6/sound/pci/emu10k1/emu10k1.c with the comment /* FIXME: not working! */ This probably isn't the answer you wanted. Sorry.
