I too would like some help in getting my SBLive card to work in SuSE 7.3. I need to know what to turn on in the kernel, if I need to use Alsa (and how to use it), and what needs to go into modules.conf.

I've been trying forever to get this to work.

Dear Raul

I have read your email, as you consider configuring Alsa with SUSE easy, could you please help me set up my Suse 7.1 professional edition to work with a sound blaster live card. Because for the life of me I have been unable to get this to work. I have mailed the list a couple of times with my problems and have recieved no help with my problems.

If you could send me the steps that are required to be taken to get Suse to recognise and use my sound card and configure Alsa, I will follow your suggested steps and email you with any problems I encounter with any of

Hi there, I have a SB Live working fine under SuSE 7.2. I use the latest drivers obtained from Creative. I am at work and so currently parted from my (lovely) Linux PC at home so this is from memory: As I recall when you build the creative driver, the resulting module is called emu10k1. But the kernel is configured (and the modules.conf) to look for a module called snd-card-emu10k1. So to get it working, dig down your /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1 and see what name you have and rename as necessary. (Dont forget the .o extension!) Hope this helps.

I did exactly as you said, and mine isn't working. I think it's because I screwed up my modules.conf. When I go into yast2 and set up sound, it returns with error about unable to load module snd-card-emu10k1.

6 months without sound and getting quickly fed up with Linux. It's multi media capabilites are poor.

Many thanks in advance Neil

One of the greatest things about SuSE & YaST with the use of Alsa is the easyness of configuring sound under Linux (although sometimes this can be a little confusing ... :-))

The thing is, what if you have to configure a PCI soundcard (on-board in the case that I have to face now) in Slackware for example, that is a distro that doesnt have any friendly tool and you have to do it the old-fashion way... Would you go for alsa or you would use the kernel support for sound (if the kernel supports PCI-sound, since I am not sure cause the Sound-HOWTO only made alussion to ISA cards).

This is applicable to SuSE as well, cause I believe it is much better to learn things, especially in exciting *nix world, to things the hard way.

Thanks alot,

Raúl
