Hi Lorenz. It sounds like your card is like my Audigy2 soundblaster then. You will need to load a soundfont onto the card. If you have the cdrom for the card, the soundfont (.sf2) should be somewhere on it, and you'll need to copy it to your home directory. If you havn't got the cdrom, you can get GM (General Midi) soundfonts from, http://www.hammersound.net . To load the soundfont you will need the package "awesfx" which may or may not already be installed. Then on the CLI, run, "sfxload <path_to_soundfont_filename>" without the double quotes. If you cannot load soundfonts onto the card, you could always use Qsynth, which is the front end to fluidsynth, and load a soundfont into that. Incidentally. Which distro, and desktop are you using? If you're using KDE, I have a small script you can use to autoload the soundfont onto the card. Let us know how you get on.
