    Everyone:

    I recently acquired a Gateway Performance 1000XL from another user who
    was upgrading his machine. It came with a Creative Labs SBLive! sound
    card and a Boston Acoustics speaker system with four speakers and a
    sub-woofer. He was running Windows ME, and the sound worked fine.

    Then I installed Fedora Core 2. For the most part, FC2 has worked well.
    But I have never gotten a spark out of the sound system. It detects the
    chip-set all right (emu10k1), but when it goes to play the test sound,
    the speakers stay stubbornly silent. I have tried alsaconf and modprobe
    emu10k1, without result.

    This is the only problem I have with the system, and I'd like to get it
    resolved. I'd rather not rip the sound card out and install a new one,
    not if I have a perfectly functional sound card to work with. The only
    thing I haven't tried so far is to take the sound card out, run the
    system through one session, shut it down again, and then replace the
    sound card and try to auto-detect after that. In all my experimenting
    with Linux (and it's been about nine months now, and I began with FC1),
    sound has been my biggest source of frustration. I am open to any
    suggestion--including ripping out the sound card and leaving it out and
    not bothering.

    TAH
