Hi everyone,
I'm sure you've heard this all before, so sorry to not have figured it out
myself. I've looked through all the HOW-TOs and Q&A archives I could get
my hands on, but basically I'm a linux newbie and don't have the raw
geek-power to set up my sound card.
Despite the fact that I'm a 3rd year computing science student and am
pretty comfortable using Unix, X, emacs, vi, or whatever, when I get home
and work on my programming assignments, I do so in M$ Windows with puTTY
and XWin32.
Why? Because it's easy. An untrained monkey can get a Windows machine set
up with sound, network, etc... It has taken me four months (so far) to get
my linux machine working (and I still don't have sound). It took me a week
just to get the mouse wheel to work! Am I stupid? Don't answer that.
Anyways... where was I... Oh yes, I feel bad that I'm using M$ Windows and
want to kick the monkey off my back. But thats not going to happen if I
can listen to music in Windows, but not in linux/X. Help!
Relevant System Info:
i686 (AMD duron)
Linux 2.2.19 (Slackware 8.0)
Sound Blaster Live! value.
The steps I followed:
-downloaded ALSA drivers, libs, utils
-ran ./configure without any switches
-Wondered about this line in the HOW-TO:
"If you have ISA Plug & Play soundcard, use --with-isapnp=yes switch."
But decided that I have a PCI card not ISA.
-ran ./make install (no errors)
-ran ./snddevices (no errors)
-editted my /etc/modules.conf to look like this:
/etc/modules.conf
alias net-pf-4 off # we won't use PF IPX
alias net-pf-5 off # we won't use PF AppleTalk
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1
options snd-card-emu10k1 snd_index=1 snd_id="SoundBlubberLive"
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
-ran modprobe snd-card-emu10k1
bash-2.05# modprobe snd-card-emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/snd-card-emu10k1.o: init_module: Device or
resource busy
/lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/snd-card-emu10k1.o: Hint: insmod errors can be
caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ
parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/snd-card-emu10k1.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/snd-card-emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/snd-card-emu10k1.o: insmod snd-card-emu10k1
failed
-thought that the second line "Hint: ..." was my problem, but didn't know
how to set IO/IRQ parameters, so did nothing
And that's where i'm stuck.
Additional info:
bash-2.05# cat /proc/pci
Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
Multimedia audio controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 8).
Vendor id=1102. Device id=2.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 5. Master Capable.
Latency=32. Min Gnt=2.Max Lat=20.
I/O at 0xe800 [0xe801].
Bus 0, device 13, function 1:
Input device controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 8).
Vendor id=1102. Device id=7002.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. Master Capable.
Latency=32.
I/O at 0xec00 [0xec01].
After rebooting #cat /proc/modules does NOT show soundcore,
but #modprobe soundcore, then #cat /proc/modules shows:
soundcore 2768 0 (unused)
pcmcia_core 45184 0
ne2k-pci 4384 1
8390 6624 0 [ne2k-pci]
ppp_deflate 40032 0 (unused)
ppp 22192 0 [ppp_deflate]
slip 7904 0 (unused)
slhc 4496 0 [ppp slip]
lp 5936 0 (unused)
parport_pc 7600 1
parport 7808 1 [lp parport_pc]
Anyways, before or I after I add soundcore I get the same errors when
adding snd-card-emu10k1.
'pci=reverse' does not appear anywhere in my lilo.conf
Thanks in advance for any help,
Adam.
