I have just obtained and installed a SoundBlaster Live 1024 card in order to be able to use it with SuSE Linux 6.3. I have installed it OK under Win98 but have had no joy yet with Linux. On SuSE's website there is a page entitled 'SoundBlaster Live under SuSE 6.3' where they indicate that the emu10k1 file on the distribution CDs is faulty, and there is a link to a version of that file that is supposed to be OK. This I have downloaded to a floppy, but I have been unable to progress beyond here. As a newcomer to Linux I'm trying to follow the instructions to the letter, but firstly I don't know how to install the new version of emu10k1 that I have just downloaded, because the page says nothing about how to install it:-( So I tried to follow the instructions for using the older version on the CDs and have installed it from Yast OK. Then it says: cd /usr/lib/emu10k1-0.4.SuSE ...but when I do that it says that the file or directory doesn't exist.:-( Then I changed directory to the floppy so that ls shows the filename emu10k1 on screen, i.e. I believe the file is in my current directory, and tried to follow the next instruction, which is: ./install_emu10k1 ...but that fails in the same way, file or directory doesn't exist! I would be most grateful if someone would talk me through getting sound working with this new SBLive card as I don't seem to be getting anywhere with SuSE's instructions. I also have just discovered that the card is not yet supported under ALSA, so I'm a bit stuck...:-( Thanks for nay help received, Richard -- //////////////////////////////////////\ Richard Smith richard@risctex.demon.co.uk Acorn StrongARM Risc PC http://www.risctex.demon.co.uk //////////////////////////////////////\ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
