Problem Description:the soundblaster live 5.1 soundcard gets recognized as a
sigmatel card with every 2.6.15 kernel i have tested so far.

Steps to reproduce: do alsaconf and look in kmix
Comment 1 James Courtier-Dutton 2005-12-15 14:18:00 UTC 
Can you please add the details of:
cat /proc/asound/cards
Comment 2 soundscout 2005-12-16 12:27:00 UTC 
0 [Live           ]: EMU10K1 - SB Live [Unknown]
                     SB Live [Unknown] (rev.10, serial:0x80661102) at 0xe800, irq 10

so the cat is okay, (2.6.14 with external alsa did the same) but in kmix the
card is still recognized as a sigmatel card and the other mixer dont work right too.

as far as i can see.

The entry for this chip is in already in alsa-git tree.  Give it a try.

It's OK that the mixer shows sigmatel.  It has really a sigmatel codec as a
mixer aprt.

Please elaborate precisely how "the other mixer dont work right too".

Hi, first, thanks for your help and i am very sorry for being not the 
right guy to tell you about the issues, cause i am not that deep into 
linux so far.

the main problem seems to be, that because of the change from 
sblive(unknown) my card was recognized as before, to sigmatel, the 
channel-names are wrong, on boot alsa tells of name-mismatches for the 
single channels (front appears twice or more and stuff like that) so i 
guess the model of the sigmatel (its the mixer-chip, isn't it?) seems to 
be wrong, because i know have rulers for telephone in and output and no 
rulers for surround sound anymore.

alsamixer won't start to, becaus of name mismatches.

perhaps even the alsa restore and the new channels just collide? 
unfortunatley i don't have the knowledge to check that out deeper... but 
perhaps you take a look at #kanotix on irc.freeenode.org and ask for 
Kano (the maintainer of kanotix, the distri i use) and soundscout, 
perhaps we  can solve the prob working together.

so long, hope you find it soon. have a good time though,  greetings, 
soundscout.
:-)

The chip revision is already in the detection table, so it's no longer unknown.
Comment 6 Adrian Bunk 2006-04-15 06:18:17 UTC 
I'm assuming this issue is already fixed.

Please reopen this bug if it's still resent in kernel 2.6.16.5.
