[PlanetCCRMA] Problems with Audiophile 2496

Hi,

I have a A8N5X mobo... (maybe it was a bad choice?)... with an athlon 64
3200+.
I'm trying to install Fedora Core 4 on my computer. At one point towards the
end of the installation, it asks you to test the soundcard. It recognizes
both the onboard mobo "sound chip" as well as the Audiophile 2496 PCI card
(ice-1712 driver). When I test the onboard mobo sound, it works for that
test. When I test the audiophile 2496 it doesn't make a sound...

Is this normal??? Do I need to do something simple after the installation
process that will make it work?

The audiophile 2496 has two anolog outs that are hooked up to an amp. This
setup worked fine when I boot Windows XP.

I'm _really_ dissapointed that I'm having problems with Linux... ;(

PS: what is up with FC4 anyway... the "onboard mobo" sound worked during the
pre-installation test but it didn't work after the installation when I
double clicked on a .wav file in usr/share/sounds. What the heck? All it
does is make a faint high pitch buzzing noise instead of playing the .wav
file... anyways... that's beside the point as I want my audiophile 2496 to
work.

HELP!
