arch64 - somebody running a sb audigy?

I compiled my own 2.6.14 kernel to get the onboard nic working. I´ve copied a lot from my arch32 /etc to arch64. But I cannot get sound to work. Already tried alsaconf.

Will post later today the log messages.

So someone has a Creative Soundblaster Audigy (emu10k1) running with arch64? Maybe I have to update the alsa packages to 1.0.10 to get them working with the new kernel.

Re: arch64 - somebody running a sb audigy?

yes.works fine.usually its just about the silly mixer setting in alsamixer...

make sure all of these are turned up/on

master is full (duh)
PCM
Synth (for midi, you still need soundtables though)
Front
Analog M
Audigy A is selected (hit M)
Audigy CD for cd audio
External is selected

hit Esc and type 'alsactl store'.

Can´t get it to play. If set it up the same way as under arch32. But I get only strange clicking noise.

Link to a possible solution
Disable ALSA and using OSS can´t be the solution for long but I´ll try this later at home.
