How to make soundblaster SB0100 work on linux mint?

>>56360638
Install alsa and select it as the default output

Is this any good? I got one as a gift years ago but haven't opened it cause I didn't need a soundcard.

Give up.

Buy a generic Linux-compatible sound card off of Newegg.

It is bulit in system.
But system does not see SB at all.

Try setting it with QASmixer.

In some cases, better than onboard

>Sound Blaster

Might as well commit suicide.
I shit you not.

>>56360751
It should work ootb

Old sound blasters work fine

If you're lucky.

Windows 7 detects it, works perfect with KX.
But LInux MInt can not. Any ideas?

>>56360895
Does alsamixer detect it? Can you select it by pressing F6?

>>56360805
Win 7 with KX and this soundblaster works perfect.
I can't make it work on LInux.

>>5636092
No it doesn't

What does lspci say?

>>56360991
Soundblaster is not listed in lspci.
On windows it is recognised just as PCI device.

>>56361069
It should be listed as "EMU10k" or similar

Can you plug the card in another PCI slot?

No, i can't.
I have 2 PCI slots (and one PCI-E), but one slot is blocked by GPU

FIxed it

>>56362103
Nice, what did you do?

>>56362115
used other driver for chipset. That fixed the detection problem. But now, SB has no sound.

>>56362168
Disable the onboard audio in the BIOS
Make sure nothing is muted in alsamixer (you can unmute something with the m key)
Also don't forget gstreamer if you're using firefox

>>56362115
i will try to reload alsa and see what will happen.

>>56360638
This is why you should avoid Linux mint.

Install Ubuntu or Fedora instead.

>>56360638
>still have to fuck around to install hardware in Linux
And this is why it will never be the year of the Linux Desktop.

>>56362423
You're right.
At the moment using the QASMixer, I managed to get sound. But i can barely hear it.

>>56362725
Have you plugged it into the first output port? Have you turned off an amplifier in alsamixer?

>>56362756
Yes and yes.

>>56362756
Solved the problem!
Turned off IEC958 Optical Raw. Everything now works without a problem.
Thanks for your help!
