My Soundblaster 16 clone is failing to work with kernel sound in SuSE Linux 6.3
It is a PnP card and has the same pnp config as it had when it worked under 5.3
The error messages suggest to me that there is a version conflict among kernel modules, which can't be right can it?
Messages follow. Yours, dproc

I've seen stuff like that too, and solved the problem, but I can't remember precisely which action I took was the key. But here are some things to try:
1. As root, call "depmod" or "depmod -a" (they're equivalent, but people here seem to prefer "depmod -a". That will fix up the module dependency file.
2. Use lsmod to see what modules are loaded. If your sound card module isn't loaded, load it with "modprobe". Also do the same for "soundcore".
Of course, if you have a kernel version conflict, that's an entirely different matter.
Not quite there yet. I fixed the dependencies - thanks Paul, but now when I try to play a sound, the modules try to autoload, and fail with the following messages: rplayd[6410]: connect from localhost insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource busy insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.13/misc/sb.o: insmod char-major-14 failed kernel: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996 kernel: sb: dsp reset failed. rplayd[6413]: warning: can't get client address: Resource temporarily unavailable rplayd[6413]: refused connect from unknown I saw a reference to this error in the archive, but I am afraid I don't understand what to do to fix it. dproc -- 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/
