getting my emu 1820 professional soundcard working under fedora core 3

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I am using the emu 1820 professinal sound card from http://www.emu.com 
and emu 1820 is being seen as a sound blaster autigy2 by creative.  Emu is 
part of creative so in a way it is correctly seeing the card but when I 
try to set volume threw alsamixer the card does not have 5.1 speakers and 
I am using standerd two speaker setup.  I get all of the settings correct 
save them using alsactl store then when I play a wav or au files using 
play file.wav I get no sound at all and no errors from sox.  Its like the 
file is playing but the soundcard is not processing the audio.  I upgraded 
to this professional soundcard that has both wdm and asio driver support 
in windows xp professional sp2 because I do 24-bit audio editing in 
soundforge 8.0.  I have two remoable harddrives, one for windows and one 
for linux so the two operating systems can each be on their own drive 
because I could have installed both on one drive but I like to seporate 
them so if I need to take windows into be repaired if I should ever need 
to do so linux won't be touched.  One note, I lost one linux system 
completely because of this very reason, restored windows 98 from a ghost 
image and the swap and linux partition were lost completely, the harddrive 
whent from a 13GB windows partition to a 27GB partition so that is why 
when I upgraded to windows xp a while agoe I used that drive as my windows 
drive and got a 80GB drive for linux.  I am just passing along this 
information so others won't need go threw whent I whent threw with lousing 
linux.  bye
