FC4 broken SB Audigy controls

[Peter Smith]

I had a similar problem.  Ron, you need too look at the doc [1].

My problem was after I installed FC4 I did not have _any_ audio output.  
After investigating I found that my speakers were Digital..  I tried 
some headphones (Analog) and lo, they work.  So, after finding the above 
doc it mentions running alsamixer.  I arrow-ed to the right, found the 
"Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack" item and hit "M" for unMute..  It 
works now.  Hope this helps.  If you can't get to the doc, I found an 
email from Alexander D. [2] which led me to the appropriate ALSA site 
for documentation.  From there I selected details on emu10k1.
