final workaround for "no sound" bug with fedora 15 linux and audigy 4 soundcard

Please read my previous post about that problem

If you tried my temporary workaround from my previous post, you may notice that after reboot - still no sound. "S/PDIF" was turned on again and you need disable it again using alsamixer.

I have a good news for you! You can still have a sound with enabled SPIDF by default!

How to do that? Follow these steps:
1. do not disable SPDIF (or just reboot, it will enabled again)
2. go to "Sound Settings" in gnome settings and switch to "Hardware" tab
3. choose "Digital stereo ... output" profile (settings was just reverted! I know that you have analog audio!)


4. switch to "Output" tab and select your "Audigy" soundcard


5. check your sound! It should work now!

Fedora 15 and audigy 4 - temporary solution for "no sound" problem

If you have no sound with "Fedora 15" linux and audigy 4 soundcard, read this post.

This time I will provide you a temporary solution. Just to try. Next time I will provide you complete workaround.

This is a known bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543693
But workaround exists!

You need to turn off "S/PDIF Optical Raw". It is enabled by default.

For example,
1. run any audio file (to hear changes later)
2. run gnome-terminal or any other terminal window.
3. run "alsamixer" programm


4. press F6 and select your audigy 4 soundcard


5. scroll to "S/PDIF" control and press "M" key on keyboard


You should hear sound. If you did not hear - run "Sound Settings" (for Gnome) then switch to "output" tab and select your Audigy soundcard as default device



P.S. Sorry for my ugly english. I just want to help.
