Ok after many troubles with an update, I did a clean install if 9. 10 64-bit and it seems to work really well.

First thing I did, was install the restricted codec and Tweak. using tweak I added Chromium and VLC.

Then I right-click the speaker icon and un-muted the system. I then opened the Sound preference and in the hardware menu and disabled the Internal Audio and the R700 Audio Device. The Sound Blaster Live Value card is the only one highlighted..the Setting is "Analog Surround 5.0 Output".

But still no sound!! When I did a fresh install of 9.04 the sound was automatically installed and I got the start up drum sound but nothing now. Kinda frustrating considering everything else seems to work fine compared to others..even feels a little better than 9.04 but the sound thing is not cool.

Here is the terminal output for aplay -l:

Hi Stooskraft,
