Yes, I did add pcm to the kernel config, and I did make the device after in= stalling and rebooting to the new kernel. Like I said, I can see the card = in dmesg, and kde even opens the volume control on the taskbar, but I can g= et no sound. My understanding is that SBLive cards are not supported, and if you get one= to work you're lucky. Is this correct, or should they work with no proble= m? Is there anything I can try, or are there any resources to check?

If you=20 did, then did you=20 cd /dev sh MAKEDEV snd0 I have a "Live 5.1" and an Audigy gamer. The live works just fine and=20 has for an awfully long time.
