Sound has been fine from initial installation a few months ago until suddenly there was no sound a couple of days ago. Reboot, no change. Reboot into XP and the sound is fine. Reboot into Linux, no sound.
I went into YaST->Hardware->Sound and the SB Audigy shows up as properly configured. I removed the SB Audigy configuration and then tried to set it up again. I got an error message saying that the module snd-emu10k1 cannot be loaded. Checking /lib/modules shows snd-emu10k1.ko, snd-emu10k1-synth.ko and snd-emu10k1x.ko
How do I procede from here to correct the problem?
Maybe the error message was telling you the module was still loaded from the previous boot? What does lsmod show?
lsmod | grep snd returns nothing. I assume this is because I've rebooted since unconfiguring the soundcard.
You could try (as root) modprobe -r snd-emu10k1*, delete the file /etc/modprobe.d/sound and run YaST to install the card "from scratch" again.
modprobe -r snd-emu10k1* found nothing. I deleted /etc/modprobe.d/sound but trying to reconfigure the soundcard via YaST gave me the same error as mentioned above ... module snd-emu10k1 cannot be loaded. -- Marshall Lake -- mlake@mlake.net -- http://mlake.net
