<DIV>Hi everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am trying to get the Alsa drivers running with a Sound Blaster Live card on my computer with Fedora Core 1 and CCRMA. I am not sure what I am doing wrong so any help would be much appreciated. I am new to linux as well so I readily admit this could be my problem. Appologies if there are any typos or formatting errors when I am giving you error messages and whatnot. The computer I am having the problems on doesn't have an internet connection so I am typing these all by hand.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, when I am using the default sound drivers that are installed with Planet CCRMA and I do an lsmod command I get the following list (I am going to restrict these lists to only the modules that seem to be audio related):</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Module Size Used by Not tainted<BR>emu10k1 72872 1 (autoclean)<BR>ac97_codec 17224 0 (autoclean) [emu10k1]<BR>sound 74900 0 (autoclean) [emu10k1]<BR>soundcore 6660 7 (autoclean) [emu10k1 sound]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I run alsaconf if immidiately prints the following which may or may not have anything to do with my problems:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>which: no dialog in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The alsaconf program then detects and configures my soundcard but then starts having problems. It tries to start alsa and run the alsamixer and I get the following messages:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Loading driver...<BR>Starting sound driver snd-emu10k1<BR>/lib/modules/2.4.22-9.23rc3.ll.rhfc1.ccrma/kernel/sound/snd-emu10k1.o: init_module: No such device<BR>/lib/modules/2.4.22-9.23rc3.ll.rhfc1.ccrma/kernel/sound/snd-emu10k1.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-9.23rc3.ll.rhfc1.ccrma/kernel/sound/snd-emu10k1.0 failed<BR>/lib/modules/2.4.22-9.23rc3.ll.rhfc1.ccrma/kernel/sound/snd-emu10k1.0: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.<BR>You may find more information in syslog of the output from dmesg<BR>insmod snd-emu10k1 failed<BR> [FAILED}<BR>Setting default volumes...<BR>Saving the mixer setup used for this in /etc/asound.state.<BR>/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>after this operation, the only addition to the lsmod list is:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Module Size Used by Not tainted<BR>snd 47012 0 (autoclean)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is the modules.conf file after running alsaconf:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>alias usb-controller usb-uhci</DIV>
<DIV># --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---</DIV>
<DIV># --- ALSACONF version 1.0.0 ---</DIV>
<DIV>alias char-major-116 snd</DIV>
<DIV>alias char-major-14 soundcore</DIV>
<DIV>alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss</DIV>
<DIV>alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss</DIV>
<DIV>alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss</DIV>
<DIV>alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss</DIV>
<DIV>alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss</DIV>
<DIV>alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1</DIV>
<DIV>alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1</DIV>
<DIV># --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, thinking I may still have the oss drivers installed or something I reboot the machine. The lsmod listing is then:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Module Size Used by Not tainted<BR>snd-mixer-oss 16432 0 (autoclean) (unused)<BR>snd 47012 0 (autoclean) [snd-mixer-oss]<BR>soundcore 6660 0 (autoclean) [snd]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>if I try to invoke the alsa mixer I get the following error:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>the dmsg command displays the following related to the soundcard:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>EMU10K1/Audigy soundcard not found or device busy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas? Thanks for the help.</DIV>
