From: Max Webb AKA "the new, meat head" I have a Creative sound blaster Live sound card and cant get it to work anymore. In the past, on this system, I have successfully installed the card when I installed the OS or later via YaST2 and I have always been able to reinstall or configure the card later. I did not change any hardware before this problem occurred, and the sound card had been working fine. The problem is not alsa or volumes. I have checked with rcalsasound status and restart. The only thing I have done around the time this problem started was configure and recompile my kernel so as to enable SCSI emulation for my second CDROM/DVD drive, so that i could use it as a read device with Xcdroast. I used the following proceedure to configure and compile my kernel: $ su $ password # cd /usr/src/ linux-2.4.18.SuSE/ # make oldconfig # make xconfig used xconfig to setup up options for SCSI emulation. # make dep # make clean # make bzImage # cd arch/i386/boot # mv /boot/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz.old # cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz # /sbin/lilo # cd /usr/src/ linux-2.4.18.SuSE/ # make modules # make modules_install This may or may not have something to do with the problem. I have compiled my kernel before without it effecting the sound card and indeed SCSI emulation now works. when the problem originally started and after checking alsa, I ran yast2 and got some sort of message about the amount of installed sound cards not matching some config. At that point I saw that SB Live! EMU10k1 was installed. So I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it and got the following error message: Error an error occurred during installation of SB Live! Emu10k1 The kernel module snd-emu10k1 for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. I have check to make sure the appropriate modules have be compiled into the kernel and that alsa is installed. no mater what I do I keep getting this message. So what gives? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Max -- Be positive and you will prevail.

Thanks but but I am using the standard SuSE 8.0 kernal and kernal source and the standard alsa and alsa source that shiped with SuSE 8.O . Any suggestions? On Monday 19 August 2002 02:47 pm, dh wrote:

Correction: since you compiled your own kernel, you're no longer using the kernel which came with the distro, for which ALSA was originally compiled,

ALSA needs to be compiled for the kernel you are using.

so you have to compile it now for the new kernel. My 1-1/2¢. -- Regards, gr, in the /usually/ sunny, balmy Florida Suncoast.

Again this does not help because I have recompiled my kernal on another installation based on the standard linux-2.4.18.SuSE only changing SCSI emulation like this instance. I have done this before and not had a problem with sound afterward. This compilation was based on the stock SuSE distro install source code configuration. I have reinstalled alsa. I have also recompiled as sugested to no avail. I now suspect that it is a device conflict problem. Possible the same device being listed twice. Where is the master configuration file for detected hardware devices? /etc/? Thanks. Max On Monday 19 August 2002 07:25 pm, gilson redrick wrote:

No you have another issue. You shouldn't have to recompile ALSA if you just compiled a new kernel from the same default src's that shipped with the distribution. Otherwise I would have to do it everytime there is a kernel update (hint it's a new build ;)..and I don't. It just works. I would suggest doing it again. Remove the config file again and do a makecloneconfig to get the same config as the running kernel and choose the new options you wish.

Ben I totally agree with you as I have recompiled without have to alter alsa afterward. None the less I recompiled alsa from the src directory and I was then able to install my sound card. I did not know the make cloneconfig command. Thank you for letting me know about that. Please read the following which I sent to Gilson and thanks for all your help: Gilson, I just recompiled Alsa from the stock SuSE 8.0 /usr/src/kernel-modules/alsa-driver/ instead of other sources. It worked this time. Thank you for your suggestion. I still don't think it had to do with the recompile which I have done before under the same conditions with no alsa problems. My belief is that all of these problems are due to what I feel is a botched or corrupted SuSE YoU update a few days ago. Looking back right after I did the update, I had a problem involving pppd, in which files were missing from my pppd directory and had to be copied from another installation for pppd to work. It was at that time that the sound card stopped working. None the less, your suggestion of alsa recompilation did the trick. And I am greatly indebted to you. Thank you.

On the issue of "make cloneconfig" -- I don't seem to have that option! The message I get is that there is no target or something similar for cloneconfig. I would assume that I am perhaps missing a package that is required for making cloneconfig - if so which package should I install. I'm running 8.0 pro.

This is really strange. I have never seen this problem with a SuSE kernel before. You could try the method that I have posted before and see if it works.

I would like to, but what are those top levels ? I'm not compiling a kernel, but a driver (a loadable module). This needs modversions.h, which I can't find. So I searched SDB, with the forementioned results. I also searched my SuSE-pc for a .config, and the only one I found is one for that driver.

Just to verify, I checked both the DVD and de CD's of my distri, and neither have the modversions.h. This morning I downloaded both V7.2 and V7.3 kernel-source RPM, and again : V7.2 has no modversions.h, V7.3 indeed has it. I hope I can use that V7.3 file on my V7.2 machine. Comments ? Or should I compile the whole kernel and install it (shiver and shake, never done this) ? Thanks very much anyway. Charles Philip Chan wrote:

Gilson, I just recompiled Alsa from the stock SuSE 8.0 /usr/src/kernel-modules/alsa-driver/ instead of other sources. It worked this time. Thank you for your suggestion. I still don't think it had to do with the recompile which I have done before under the same conditions with no alsa problems. My belief is that all of these problems are due to what I feel is a botched or corrupted SuSE YoU update a few days ago. Looking back right after I did the update, I had a problem involving pppd, in which files were missing from my pppd directory and had to be copied from another installation for pppd to work. It was at that time that the sound card stopped working. None the less, your suggestion of alsa recompilation did the trick. And I am greatly indebted to you. Thank you.

Thanks but but I am using the standard SuSE 8.0 kernal and kernal source...

The only thing I have done around the time this problem started was configure and recompile my kernel so as to enable SCSI emulation for my second CDROM/DVD drive,

Correction: since you compiled your own kernel, you're no longer using the kernel which came with the distro, for which ALSA was originally compiled,

...
ALSA needs to be compiled for the kernel you are using.

so you have to compile it now for the new kernel.

My 1-1/2¢.
