[PlanetCCRMA] No sound from SB Live!

[Tom Olson]

I'm  attempting to install CCRMA on 1 Pentium -3, 1 Ghz, with a 40 GB 
disk and 512 Mb of memory, and a SB Live! card. I've loaded the Fedora 1 
iso from the CCRMA site. It recognized the card and played the sample 
sound. Here is the lspci -v output for the sound card:
===========================================================

        Subsystem: Creative Labs SBLive! Player 5.1

=========================================================
I followed the installation directions and installed apt, ran "apt-get 
update", then installed the kernel and drivers in planetccrma-core. I 
rebooted, ran "alsaconfig" and generated this "module.conf" file:
=========================================================

options  -k snd-card-0

I added the last line, per the Install guide. I rebooted using the new 
modules.conf file, but still no sound. I checked what modules were 
loaded with lsmod:

It looks like the right modules are loaded, did nor see a emu10k1 
module, so that looked fine to me. I checked the mixer with alsamixer, 
levels were fine and not muted.

I was looking around the archives and thought it must be something with 
the "modules.conf" file. I went to the Alsa website, looked up the SB 
Live! in the card matrix, did not see anything "really" wrong.

Finally, out of frustration, I decided to try again, this time with 
Agnula on top of Fedora 1.
Reloaded Fedora 1,  installed Agnula, and this time the SB Live! works.  
Still thinking it was a module issue, I copied the "modules.conf" file 
from the working Agnula - SB Live setup. I then reinstalled Fedora1 and 
CCRMA, with the working "modules.conf" file.  Here it is by the way.

Still no sound....
Is it "kudzu" in Agnula that made the difference? Any suggestions on how 
to troubleshoot?
Is this actually a question for the Alsa guys?
Thanks in advance,

Tom
