Usually there should be no problems with audigy cards using the emu10k1
driver.
My alsamixer shows "Card" Audigy2 Platinum (SB0240P).
Chip: SigmaTel STAC9721,23
All works ok for the sounds
Regarding the Analog A switch, that should have been Audigy A switch Try
scrolling along the various controls in alsamixer using the arrow keys. You
should find a control named "Audigy A", and try changing it's state using the
M key. This changes it's state from analog to digital output. Sometimes this
control is muted, and consequently no analog sound output. It's also worth
checking other sliders, like, Master, PCM, Front, Synth, and Wave, and
pushing them up if at zero.
Apologies if I havn't helped to resolve your problem. I don't have F10
installed on the machine with my soundblaster card, so I'm a bit in the dark
with your problem.
Nigel.
