I don't know how to do this in yast but to manually use the sound module do the following. As root type "modprobe --list | grep emu10k" If it exists you should get something like "/usr/lib/blah...blah/emu10k1.ko" To load the module type "modprobe emu10k1" If the module loads correctly, you should get your sound devices. Use "dmesg" or your system log to see if it loaded correctly. After the module loads you should start/restart Alsa, Esd, or whatever sound daemons you use. If the module doesn't exist you will have to compile it from the kernel sources. Kernel and module compiling is something that I think is worth learning for every linux user. ----- Original message ----- From: "Joe Kneeland" <Joe at barterfest.com> To: "Isaac Atilano" <aristophrenic at warpmail.net> Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 14:41:28 -0600 Subject: Re: [tclug-list] sound sorry to be such a newbie, but could you teach me how to do that? thanks Isaac On Thursday 16 February 2006 14:16, you wrote: > Try the emu10k1 module instead. > According to > http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Creative_Labs# >matrix it says that the sb Lives should use that module instead. > > > ----- Original message ----- > From: "Joe Kneeland" <Joe at barterfest.com> > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 14:04:38 -0600 > Subject: [tclug-list] sound > > > > Hi Everyone, > > Still new to linux, been trying for a dozen hours though, can't get this > sound > card to work. it's soundblaster live!, in the yast2 control center it's > shown, but not configured. when i go to edit configuration this error > comes; > > "the kernal module snd-ens1371 for sound support could not be loaded. > this > can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or > IRQ > parameters." > > after some research, i went into bios to see if i could adjust IO or IRQ > for > the card, but did not see a spot for setting soundcard. just, it think, > IRQ > for 'slot one' 'slot two' etc. there were four, but there's five slots, > so i > didn't mess with it. > > any ideas or info would be great, suse won't help out since they say > they > don't support sound issues. thanks ahead of time!, joe K > > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
