Dell OEM : Creative Soundblaster Live! lost Pulseaudio support

Description

OK. I was using Fedora core 10 (not that that helps, but gives the Pulseaudio version) and my Soundblaster card was able to produce perfect sound. I had no problem with it at all. However, I have upgraded to Fc11 (PA on the Fc11 GNOME live cd, don't remember...). After it installed, I noticed that the sound was not working. The settings were at the default. When I tried to play a sound file, it wouldn't play (player stopped w/no sound). When I hit a button in GNOME, it would normally make a *ding* sound. Pulseaudio played it, but kept spaming my soundcard with that sound. Another button, more *ding*-ing until i killed the Pulseaudio daemon. Then it, by default, set my default card as NULL and didn't recognize my card. I temporarily fixed that by playing around with killing and re-running the daemon, to get my card, then chose output 5.1 analoge... (the output sterio analoge is not correctly setup to work with the SBLive! card). All worked well with this workaround. Then an upgrade came around for pulseaudio (V. 0.9.15)(something was changed) and now I am having my problems again. I will hopefully be able to make a workaround for this problem and provide information on the problem soon.

Work-around for emu10k1 users who have sound issues:

(This is in the perspective of Fedora. This might not work for other OS's)

1. Downgrade pulseaudio from 0.9.15-14 to 0.9.15-11

2. Kill and restart pulseaudio by logging off or by running:

pulseaudio -k pulseaudio

3. Using pavucontrol, In the Configuration tab, change the profile to 'Output Analog 4.0 + Input Analog Stereo'

That's it. This is not an official fix, just a way to get sound out of the card. Until a new release that fixes this...

Sorry about the post above, step 2 should have read:

pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio

The enter key is not working for my posts...
