You’ll need the package alsa-firmware. Download the latest source from www.alsa-project.org, then run these commands:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | tar -xvjf alsa-firmware-1.0.24.1.tar.bz2 cd alsa-firmware-1.0.24.1/ ./configure make sudo make install sudo modprobe -r snd_emu10k1_synth sudo modprobe -r snd_emu10k1 sudo modprobe snd_emu10k1 |
After that, you should be able to see the card as “SB Audigy” in the Ubuntu sound settings. Use 7.1 surround output to have sound on all outputs. I recommend a great util called Emutrix for manipulating inputs and outputs of the card:
1 2 3 4 5 | sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev libasound2-dev svn checkout http://emutrix.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ emutrix-read-only cd emutrix-read-only make ./emutrix |
Have a look at alsamixer too.
If you want to use jackaudio, install qjackctl with apt-get install qjackctl.

Hey, great guide. Thanks to you I was able to muddle through getting my EMU 1820 recognized and playing sound. Now I’m not able to record sound yet, but I’m working on that. Emutrix wasn’t something that’s working out for me, because when i type ‘make’ it just dumps garbage about g++ and other stuff I don’t recognize. I’m a rank noob when it comes to ubuntu, so forgive me.
There must be a way I can get Audacity or sound settings to acknowledge the fact that I am making noise into the microphone. I don’t know what it is yet, but I’m working on it.
