Fedora Core 1 post install - sound card test freezes the machine

[Michael Mayhew]

Howdy,

First and foremost, the dirty details:
Athlon XP 1700+ processor at 1.1Ghz
256 MB PC2100 DDR-SDRAM
Soyo K6VB (I think) Dragon motherboard
Creative SoundBlaster Live! sound card
OnBoard C-Media 6 channel sound

Alrighty. I just finished installing Fedora Core 1 but not after some heavy 
velvet handling of my machine, particularly in the sound department. I had 
had the onboard sound disabled before the first time I installed and in the 
post installation the SoundBlaster Live! card was detected with the emu101k 
driver designated as the proper driver. But when I went to test the sound 
card, (pressed the Play Sound/Test button) not only was no sound played but 
the system froze and I had to reinstall. I have googled for this topic and 
am turning up little in terms of similarity of my problem to those of other 
users. I have posted and am awaiting a response to a thread on the Fedora 
list with this same information. I am most frustrated because one of the 
only things holding me back from making a FULL transition to Linux is my 
ability to listen to music on my desktop. Thanks in advance for any and all 
assistance. I greatly appreciate it (and the Linux support community, in 
general).

Thanks,
