Summary:I installed a new motherboard and since I couldn't get the sound to work with it, I installed an Creative SoundBlaster AudigyFX.  I probably should have been shot first.  I can't get that to work either. And by work, I mean play anything.  One time, I was able to pipe urandom out to the speakers, but nothing more or useful. I also had to specify a bunch of info to get it to just work.My Setup:[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/*releaseFedora release 24 (Twenty Four)NAME=FedoraVERSION=24 (Workstation Edition)ID=fedoraVERSION_ID=24PRETTY_NAME=Fedora 24 (Workstation Edition)ANSI_COLOR=0;34CPE_NAME=cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:24HOME_URL=https://fedoraproject.org/BUG_REPORT_URL=https://bugzilla.redhat.com/REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT=FedoraREDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=24REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT=FedoraREDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION=24PRIVACY_POLICY_URL=https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:PrivacyPolicyVARIANT=Workstation EditionVARIANT_ID=workstationFedora release 24 (Twenty Four)Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)I ran an Alsa script:  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=bce8c1bcee7e3017419d581c438574f2f8e91604For what it's worth, I also have PulseAudio, which I read somewhere causes problems with Alsa.  I also understand the SB lines and especially  AudigyFX are very Linux unfriendly.  I should have checked this first.I prefer to use the Creative if possible. However, we now have 4 speakers and if I could get them all to work, it'd be really awesome.  But I'd settle for the front two nicer ones, running on Creative.Regards,
Why can't I get my sound to work
