silent soundblaster live problem

[Sy Beamont]

My workstation has a SBLive! card in it which used to work fine under 
SuSE. Around the time I installed FC1 I am getting no sound at all, and 
no errors either. Playing CDs, .wav files, xmms, etc all _look_ like 
they are playing just fine but my the speakers remain eerily silent, 
almost like they are not plugged in (yes I've checked 100 times, and 
tried new speakers)

$ /sbin/lsmod

I do get messages from modprobe about "Can't locate module sound-slot-1" 
but apparently this is caused by KDE looking for a second sound card.

Also, this is a dual-boot machine and W2K reports "the device is working 
properly" on this card. But still, the same thing, no errors, no sound.

What do you think? time for a new card???

thanks all
