Hello debian-user, this is my first submission and is unfortunately due to the most persistent aggrevating experience I have yet had with Linux. So far, I like everything about Debian, except for that I can not get sound working. I have not had this problem with any other distros on this machine (e.g. Red Hat, Mandrake, Slackware), but I still have much faith in Debian.
My sound card is a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy MP3 and so the corresponding driver should be emu10k1. I am running a 2.4.9 kernel and have tried compiling the driver module directly into the kernel with no luck. So I currently have the driver compiled as a separate loadable module, however no matter what I try, I can not get it to load. Running $ modprobe -v emu10k1 I get the following output: siva:~# modprobe -v emu10k1 /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o Using /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o Symbol version prefix '' /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod emu10k1 failed Ok, so I took the "Hint:" and ran $ lspci -v to obtain irq=5, io=0xd800. Now, from here I may not know exactly what I'm doing, but I went ahead and ran $ modprobe -v emu10k1 irq=5 io=0xd800 and received: siva:~# modprobe -v emu10k1 irq=5 io=0xd800 /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o irq=5 io=0xd800 Using /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o Symbol version prefix '' /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: invalid parameter parm_irq /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod emu10k1 failed Well, now I'm fresh out of ideas. Could someone please help me?! I am dying to get this working so that I can honestly proclaim Debian as the best OS. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
