Re: [SLE] emu10k1 module won't install

My card is also about 3 years old, so nothing differ, I think. Next, you may try using YaST2 to setup the sound card, it work too as I tried that on another PC after slot in the Live value into it. Nothing need to be done to the kernel if you're using the stock kernel from SuSE. Try slot the card into another PCI slot if you can, the IRQ may be conflicting with some other card, but this is slim. Good luck and hope your PC play you the X'mas tune soon :) Dennis David Ayers wrote:

My box at home is using the Live value card and the emu10k1 installed while setup automatically, no need to do anything. The box is running on 8.0 Pro. It has gone thru' 7.1, 7.3 all without any problem. Dennis

I have SuSE 7.2 and SuSE 8.1 installed on a dual-boot machine and cannot get a peep out of the sound on either. The problem seems to be that the sound module, emu10k1, will not install.

Anyone know what the correct module parameters are?

Thanks for all of your responses. Since others have not had my problem, it must be something about my particular hardware. It's interesting that I can boot a Caldera eDesktop 2.4 distribution on this same machine and the sound works fine with the emu10k1 module, no tweaking needed.

My machine is a home-brew PC with Intel 500 MHz PIII, Intel mobo, gobs of memory and other good stuff. Pretty standard setup.

What I need now are some ideas about how to troubleshoot the system. Other possibilities would be to try the standard kernel that comes with SuSE, Or, since my SBLive! card is 3 years old, a newer card might work. What about trying compiling the sound into the kernel? (I would rather fix what's broke, however.)

If any of you sound gurus have an idea of how I might proceed it would be great Christmas gift. ;)

Season's best to all of you and thanks to the folks at SuSE for a great distribution.
