Comment 1 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-01 12:30:38 UTC 
ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1"
Comment 2 Fredrik Normann 2005-01-02 05:52:18 UTC 
The audigyls card is not a emuk10k1 card, and alsa-driver 1.0.7-r4 works fine. I don't think that's the problem.
Comment 3 Ivan Yosifov 2005-01-15 06:34:47 UTC 
I have the same problem , and Fredrik is right.

As you can see here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Creative_Labs#matrix
AudigyLS cards have a separate driver "audigyls" ( http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Sound+Blaster+LS.&chip=SB0310%2C+P17&module=audigyls )
Comment 4 Ivan Yosifov 2005-01-15 06:56:20 UTC 
Well , it appears neither of us was right :)
The alsa docs are out of sync with the code , the module has been renamed to "ca0106" ( found , via forum digging , tested - works )

ALSA_CARDS="ca0106" for all AudigyLS owners !
