Creative Labs USB MP3+ external sound card

[scull7]

Has anyone had any success getting a creative labs external usb MP3+ sound card with core 2. It seems that kuzdu recognizes it but when i use the sound card detection the OS reports that there aren't any sound devices. Anyone know how to solve this?

Thank you for the help. I got the sound card to play some system sounds but. I can't get it to play music or game sounds. did i do something wrong?

You need to be more specific...

If you mean audio CDs via XMMS:
Options -> Preferences
Audio I/O Plugins -> CD Audio Player -> Configure

Change "Play mode" from "Analog" to "Digital.."
Check if you got the right Device and Directory set.

I don't know what you mean by "game sounds"...

Well the only sounds that i can get the system to play are system midi sounds. both gnome and kde report that there are no sound cards detected. i checked alsamixer, the gnome mixer, and kde mixer and all the sounds are turned on. I can get sound out of the on-board card. I have tried turning this off, and also keeping it on. any suggestions?

Maybe it's related to the soundcard not beeing able to play more sounds at once? Have a look at this thread: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18522
