Sound Blaster Audigy supported or not?

Is the Sound Blaster Augidy support or not?  I installed arch last night and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it playing that test sound from alsa.

It should be. The required module name is emu10k1, so can do a

lsmod | grep emu10k

to see if it's loaded

Are you sure nothing is muted and the required volume fader are up in alsamixer?

I usually have to switch the Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack to [off] in alsamixer to get sound on a new install. My card is an Audigy 1 Platinum eX.

I'm on an SB Audigy. Works fine for me. Only thing I had to deal with my first time setting it up (via the Arch Beginner's Guide) was changing the digital/analog switch as suggested above, and fixing the volumes.

Running the SB Audigy 2 ZS here, and never had to do anything special to get it to work, and no issues to report.
