[gentoo-user] Strange ALSA issues (emu10k1)

I'm having an interesting time getting my sound card working for some
reason. It's a SB Audigy 2 (emu10k1), with the main audio jacks on the
actual card and headphone and microphone ports in front. For some reason, I
can only get sound out of the front headphone port--not any of the ports on
the card itself. Other than that, everything works fine.

That I can tell, I have everything configured right, but here's some output
in case anybody spots something:

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Open your favourite mixer, go to the 'switches' section and turn on
the one labelled "Audigy analog/digital output jack".  Good chance it
will just start working.

If you don't have a mixer that does that, try this way:
# amixer controls | grep Jack

should produce output like this
numid=216,iface=MIXER,name='Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack'

To enable the control, run
# amixer -c 0 cset numid=216 1
with the numid= value you got above

I seem to have gotten things figured out myself. :P Apparently there were 
still some things muted in alsamixer, and I'm not sure which one it was but 
one of them was the control for the audio ports on the sound card. Everything 
works fine now. :)

Thomas--thanks. Saw your message after I figured it out, but that seems to 
have been what it was. :) Thank you anyway!
