Alsactl store did not work. Out of curiosity I plugged my amp into my
Onboard Sound, and that worked off the bat. So Linux seems to be
defaulting to my onboard sound.

The emu10k1 kernel modules are compiled, so the card should work fine.
They just don't. Running 'discover' doesn't fix it either. Any
suggestions?
