audigy 2 zs

edit

hi,

i'm a long time user of fedora (started on fedora 9) and have come up with a problem with my sound card, it's a soundblaster audigy 2 zs and pulseaudio will not see it , i've set it as my number one sound card in ALSA but all it will see is the disabled sound card on the motherboard.

i can play videos and audio files through Smplayer and VLC as i can set the sound card there. All i want to do is hear stuff streamed through the web (firefox). if this can not be sorted then i'll have to bid a fairwell to fedora and choose a differnet distro that does not use pulseaudio.

thanks in advanced
