Sound Blaster Live! Issues

[AngryKidJoe]

Product: SB0410 SBLive! 24-bit
info.linux.driver: CA0106

Ubuntu is defaulting to the onboard sound. I've done multiple searches and have yet to find a solution. When I go to System > Preferences > Sound and Switch from my onboard to CA0106, the option doesn't stay. I can open it again and again and it defaults to the onboard. Also, when I open up alsamixer the only options I have to modify for the the Live! card are Line-In & Mic-In.

After trying a couple fixes, my onboard doesn't work anymore and I get
[Couldn't open audio]
Please Check that:
Your sound card is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin selected
No other program is blocking the soundcard
Any help would be greatly appreciated and feel free to use my IM contacts.

EDIT: I just booted up Neverwinter Nights and the sound worked, but it works no where else.

Turn off your onboard sound system in the system BIOS. Then Ubuntu will be forced to use the only remaining sound system.

[AngryKidJoe]

That solved the issue of the Sound Preference option permenantly set on On-Board. The [Couldn't Open Audio] error is now gone but now I have no sound and it is not muted in alsamixer. There's still the issue of the only options in alsomixer being Line-In and Mic-In.

I'm still searching around for solutions, mainly on these forums and via Wikipedia. Anyone suggest any other leads?

Do you have the correct module for the SB Live! 24bit card.
lsmod | grep snd You should have the snd_ca0106 module listed next to snd.


You should also create an ~/.asoundrc file so that the SB card is used as default over the onboard, I'd recommend this over disabling the onboard. Having two sound cards can be useful.

First find out what card number the SB Live one is

cat /proc/asound/cards Then create the ~/.asoundrc file to set the default card
gedit ~/.asoundrc Then paste in these lines, changing the bold card 0 with whatever the SB card is listed as.
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
I hope this helps out.

It brings up the text editor file and I just click save and that should save it to it's default directory, correct?

EDIT: Alright, now I have this error:
The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.

You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu.

EDIT 2: GOT THIS FIXED, skip it, only here for reference.
By following these instructions (http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Sound+Blaster+Live+7.1.&chip=SB0410%2C+P17&module=ca0106#opt), I get this:
