I tired of my built-in VIA 8235 sound, and bought a "Soundblaster live
5.1". The card is functional in this machine under Windows 2000.
However, I can't get any sound through ALSA 1.0.4 under kernel
v2.4.26 (plus GNOME 2.4.)
I did the following:
* Installed the alsa-source, alsa-base, and alsa-utils packages
(all 1.0.4).
* Ran
dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source
and selected emu10k1.
* In the ALSA directory, ran
./configure --with-oss=yes --with-cards=emu10k1
* In /usr/src/linux, ran
make-dpkg kernel_image modules_image
installed, and rebooted.
* The following modules are now loaded (I removed the
lists of dependencies)
snd-seq-midi 3904 0 (autoclean)
snd-emu10k1-synth 4732 0 (autoclean)
snd-emux-synth 29020 0 (autoclean)
snd-seq-midi-emul 4928 0 (autoclean)
snd-seq-virmidi 3256 0 (autoclean)
snd-seq-oss 28640 0 (autoclean)
snd-seq-midi-event 3328 0 (autoclean)
snd-seq 36336 2 (autoclean)
snd-emu10k1 74372 4 (autoclean)
snd-pcm-oss 38020 1 (autoclean)
snd-mixer-oss 13560 1 (autoclean)
snd-pcm 59620 0 (autoclean)
snd-timer 14404 0 (autoclean)
snd-hwdep 5216 0 (autoclean)
snd-page-alloc 6388 0 (autoclean)
snd-util-mem 1280 0 (autoclean)
snd-ac97-codec 49340 0 (autoclean)
snd-rawmidi 13536 0 (autoclean)
snd-seq-device 4224 0 (autoclean)
snd 31812 2 (autoclean)
soundcore 3652 10 (autoclean)
* I started 'gnome-alsamixer', pushed all the controls to their
maximum and unmuted everything.
UNFORTUNATELY, I don't get any GNOME system sounds, or sounds from ZINF or
even the (command-line) 'play' program.
What can I try next?
