Creative Labs

I finally got sound! After a year of fooling around with Creative Labs X-Fi card, I pulled it out and went back to the audio on the mother board
Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB High Definition Audio Controller
on reboot I interrupted the bios and turned on the sound on the motherboard
and I got sound to work from Firefox, the most important part is that I used only the gui Package Manager, here are the packages I installed
adobe-release-i386.noarch
flash-plugin.i386
nspluginwrapper.i386
nspluginwrapper.x86_64
firefox.i386
firefox.x86_64
I am using firefox.X86-64. I installed and uninstalled many times, I forget the order, the important part is I used only the Package Manager otherwise I would probably have an unbootable system.
To complete this technical triumph, I also got dual screens to work off my NVIDIA card. I installed the NVIDIA driver and then configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf I am using VMware to run MS Windows so I put the MS Windows on one screen and linux stuff on the other.
A Mac provides serious sound with a lot less hassle.
