[Alsa-user] Problem with stereo output on SB Audigy LS

[Prabhu R. <pra...@us...>]

Hi,

I posted this a week back and am trying again with a little more
information as suggested by other posts on this list.

I am running Debian Sarge with kernel-2.6.8.  I have installed alsa
driver version 1.0.9b along with library version 1.0.9b.  I have a
Creative Labs SB Audigy LS audio card.  I am using the ca0106 driver
and sound works but only in one channel.  I tried fiddling with the
various settings on alsamixer and that has no effect.  However, if I
boot into Windows XP and reboot into Linux, the sound works perfectly
well with alsa.  However if the machine is down for a while and I boot
straight into Linux I get back to single channel audio.

Here is more information on the card:

# lspci -v

I'd appreciate any tips on how to get this solved.  Please let me know
if you need any more information.

Thanks!
