    I tired of my built-in VIA 8235 sound, and bought a "Soundblaster live
    5.1". The card is functional in this machine under Windows 2000.
    However, I can't get any sound through ALSA 1.0.4 under kernel
    v2.4.26 (plus GNOME 2.4.)

    I did the following:

    * Installed the alsa-source, alsa-base, and alsa-utils packages
      (all 1.0.4).

    * Ran

        dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source

      and selected emu10k1.

    * In the ALSA directory, ran

        ./configure --with-oss=yes --with-cards=emu10k1

    * In /usr/src/linux, ran

        make-dpkg kernel_image modules_image

      installed, and rebooted.

    * The following modules are now loaded (I removed the
      lists of dependencies)

        snd-seq-midi 3904 0 (autoclean)
        snd-emu10k1-synth 4732 0 (autoclean)
        snd-emux-synth 29020 0 (autoclean)
        snd-seq-midi-emul 4928 0 (autoclean)
        snd-seq-virmidi 3256 0 (autoclean)
        snd-seq-oss 28640 0 (autoclean)
        snd-seq-midi-event 3328 0 (autoclean)
        snd-seq 36336 2 (autoclean)
        snd-emu10k1 74372 4 (autoclean)
        snd-pcm-oss 38020 1 (autoclean)
        snd-mixer-oss 13560 1 (autoclean)
        snd-pcm 59620 0 (autoclean)
        snd-timer 14404 0 (autoclean)
        snd-hwdep 5216 0 (autoclean)
        snd-page-alloc 6388 0 (autoclean)
        snd-util-mem 1280 0 (autoclean)
        snd-ac97-codec 49340 0 (autoclean)
        snd-rawmidi 13536 0 (autoclean)
        snd-seq-device 4224 0 (autoclean)
        snd 31812 2 (autoclean)
        soundcore 3652 10 (autoclean)

    * I started 'gnome-alsamixer', pushed all the controls to their
      maximum and unmuted everything.

    UNFORTUNATELY, I don't get any GNOME system sounds, or sounds from ZINF or
    even the (command-line) 'play' program.

    What can I try next?
