Running mandriva 2006 powerpack, with a SBAudigyZS sound card. It's simply not outputting any sound no matter what I play and this is after I installed the win32 codecs. Any ideas?
The win32-codecs are for playback of certain proprietary audio and video codecs which have no native Linux equivilents. So, they won't help you get your sound card working unfortuantely. Please run the command: Code: lspci and post the results here. Next run the command: Code: cat /dev/sndstat and post those results also. That'll give us enough info to start troubleshooting.

OK, it looks like the card is present but no modules for it are. Creative has really been confusing me with their product branding lately! According to internet resources, that card's chipset could possibly be an EMU10k1, EMU10k2, or something else entirely. Try setting up the card in the Mandriva Control Center, aka Configure My Computer. Try the emu10k1 ALSA driver (emu10k1-snd I think) and see if that helps. *EDIT* You posted just ahead of me! ;-) It looks like it was probably of the emu10k1 variety, so you should be good to go. The card has to be mixed a bit according to your speaker settings and preferrences, but that should be it.
Originally it was set to the EMU10K1 module, so I tried some other ones, then I set it back to the original module, rebooted and for some reason that fixed the problem..
I just bought a SB Audigy 2 ZS. When I loaded the snd-emu10k1 driver with alsa (after disabling onboard sound via bios) I saw a lot more options on kmix.
