I have a new Creative SoundBlaster Live! 24 bit sound card in my 
machine (dual Xeon box). The card works - heard it when booted 
WinXP. However, I can make no headway on getting sounds from it 
when I boot in to my Linux
partition. I have done a 'apt-get install alsa' but that doesn't 
seem to have changed anything. All solutions are most welcome! And 
here's what I
believe is sufficient information for people to answer this for me! 
TIA.

Hi
Try running alsaconf to set up the alsa sound modules.
Robin

That comes up with:
    No supported PnP or PCI card found.
I should also have said the console gets the message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src$ sudo alsaconf
modinfo: snd: no module by that name found
modinfo: snd: no module by that name found
modinfo: snd: no module by that name found

Not sure which module it is so check 
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/  soundcard matrix and then
e.g.

modprobe  snd-ens1371
replacing, if necessary, snd-ens1371 with the correct module.
If there are any error messages post them here.
Also which kernel version are you running as there was an issue with 
some 2.6 kernels with OSS grabbing the sound card before Alsa.
