I am using a sound blaster live 5.1 card on a asus p4c800-e deluxe mobo that has the latest bios. It is using the EMU10k1 drivers...all though I have also tried the intel8x0 drivers..as well as the "100% soundblaster compatible" drivers (can't remember their name, but this was their description) I have tried all of this in both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. I have enabled sound in my control center..and I tried that trick where you go to .kde config and edit the hidden file and turn everything from false to true. This is the file and its location below

/home/<username>/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc

however I dont think this worked because I didnt have aRts enable. ARts is about the only thing I havent tried simply bacuse I do not know how. It seems to be my last possibilty. Also if someone could tell me how to enable alsa so I can try that. I think if i enable alsa and change the output plugin within xmms I may have a shot. Anyways...if anyone sees an option for me or knows what im doing wrong by all means please help me.
