Problem installing creative audigy soundcard

English Hardware
1

Hello,
I try other advises to audigy sound card troubles, but seems not to fit to my problem. I can’t find anywhere SB audigy LS listed in the mixer menu configuration .
It is listed indeed in YaST2 . I tried to install it manually but appears this error:
‘An error occurred during instalation of SB Audigy LS . The kernel module snd/ca0106 for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, incl IO or IRQ parameters’

Please help me fix this problem.
Thanks

You can try working your way through the openSUSE audio troubleshooting guide: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE

one you get your mixer, you can get guidance for setting up your mixer here:
[Solution] Creative Audigy 1/2 + 11.0 + KDE/GNOME + ALSA - openSUSE Forums](http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/386773-solution-creative-audigy-1-2-11-0-kde-gnome-alsa.html)

I’m leaving on vacation for over a week, so I won’t be able to monitor your progress. But if you have problems, post here in this thread, and maybe other’s on this forum will chip in and help you.

Good luck.

Thanks for your advises oldcpu. They proved really helpfull. I finally solved sound problem :
even that still adudigy was no where listed in the mixers
analog / digital outputs , i just had to apply (by trying dif. vol. panels) volume to ‘Analog front’ vol panel and sound was on. The problem was simple as that… lol!
Also solved codecs problem by installing them following your link posted.
Solved hardrive viewing problem by installing again openSUSE with KDe desk. inv. because i didn’t know how to change from Gnome to Kde.:\

Have a nice vacation ! :wink:
