I've oops'd my sound somehow
Hi all, I tried the free OSS drivers(?) to see if I could get my Audigy2 card working, and they did make it work, but the sound wasn't quite as good as ALSA sound on my older SBLive! card, so, I deleted everything I could (and I believe according to everything I could find on uninstalling the OSS stuff), and rebooted. Now the problem is, when I swapped back in my older SBLive! card, YaST sees it, but when I go to configure it, I get the 'emu10k1 module can't be loaded' or some such thing. This card has always worked fine. Question is, what can I do to make the kernel boot the emu10k1 module? I tried depmod emu10k1, and depmod sound and a few other things, but nothing seems to help. Would it be possible to reboot with the dvd in the drive and click on installation and have it re-install the kernel as it was before I screwed up whatever it is I screwed up? I haven't done any kernel updates, so I've still got the stock 9.2 kernel installed. I just really want my sound back and I'm gonna quit piddlin' around with stuff for a while. Thanks for any help with this. John B.

I'd start from a lsmod. you might still have the oss module loaded. If that's the case, try a rmmod and yast again. Or afaik alsa has an "alsa-config" (or something similar) which would do the same thing (ish) as yast. anyway, imho, you still have the oss module lingering in the memory somewhere...
