Which FC version are you using? From FC2 using the 2.6 kernel /etc/modules.conf has changed to /etc/modprobe.conf. Will you post the output of: cat /proc/asound/cards cat /proc/asound/version /sbin/lsmod The fact that you can access Alsamixer sounds good. I dont know what controls you have on your Alsamixer, but on mine for the Audigy2 sounblaster there is a switch named "Audigy A" which needs to be unmuted. "M" toggles the switches. The sliders I need up to get sounds, are, Master, PCM, Front, and you may wish to try the first 2 Emu10k1 sliders just along from the Audigy A switch. This is for stereo output, which I am using, not 5/1. Which desktop are you using, and which app are you trying to play sounds with? The card is supported according to the Alsa's soundcard matrix, but doesn't do 96k 24bit. Nigel.
