Hey guys, I've been fighting with this all night with no
luck.
I've just bought a Creative Soundblaster Live! 5.1 Model
SB0060CA
lspci -vv finds it just fine:
00:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB
Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a)
Subsystem: Creative Labs SBLive! Digital 5.1 Model
SB0060CA
Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV-

DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 32 (500ns min, 5000ns max)
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 9
Region 0: I/O ports at d800 [size=32]

PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-)

At first, the subsystem number didn't match the pci.ids
database, but I added a line to the file and now it shows
up fine:

1102 8066 SBLive! 5.1 Digital Model
SB0060CA
I thought maybe that'd do the trick, but no dice.
Compiled alsa-driver-1.0.1 with --enable-sequencer
--with-cards=emu10k1 --with-debug=full
Compiled fine, no errors.
Installing the driver gives the following:
# modprobe snd-emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.4.24/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o
: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from
dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.24/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o
: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.24/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.4.24/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o
: insmod snd-emu10k1 failed
soundcore is compliled into the kernel, and that worked
fine with the ALSA onboard via sound drivers I was using
before.
dmesg gives:
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0f.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:09.0
ALSA control.c:323: control 2:0:0:Center Playback Volume:0
is already present
EMU10K1/Audigy soundcard not found or device busy
/etc/modules.conf is:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
# module options should go here
# options snd-via82xx index=0 dxs_support=2
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
In short, I can see no reason why this isn't working.
I thought maybe that this was a PCI ID difference deal,
but my brief look into the driver code seems to show that
all Manufactuer 1102 Model 0002 cards are treated as SB
Lives - so the perhaps new/rare 8066 subsystem code
shouldn't matter
static struct pci_device_id snd_emu10k1_ids[] = {
{ 0x1102, 0x0002, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
/* EMU10K1 */
{ 0x1102, 0x0006, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0
},
/* Dell OEM version (EMU10K1) */
{ 0x1102, 0x0004, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 1
},
/* Audigy */
{ 0, }
};
Much Googling has not turned up anything useful.
Any ideas? I'd kinda like to get my card working.
ADDENDUM: Through the ancient and proven printk debugging
method, I've been able to determine that this part of the
code is the problem:
if ((err = snd_emu10k1_mixer(emu)) < 0) {
snd_card_free(card);
return err;
}
If I comment that out, the module loads - but playing
sounds doesn't work, and I get this message in dmesg:
ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/emu10k1/emupcm.c:750: ERROR
(kctl != ((void *)0)) (called from e1c231f5)
ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/emu10k1/emupcm.c:750: ERROR
(kctl != ((void *)0)) (called from e1c2320f)
ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/emu10k1/emupcm.c:750: ERROR
(kctl != ((void *)0)) (called from e1c23229)
I haven't traced through the mixer code to follow that
through - hopefully this is enough for someone who
actually knows the code to go on.
FURTHER DEBUGGING:
This code in alsa-kernel/pci/emu10k1/emumixer.c
(note nasty debugging!)
memset(&bus, 0, sizeof(bus));
bus.write = snd_emu10k1_ac97_write;
bus.read = snd_emu10k1_ac97_read;
printk(KERN_ERR "DEBUG:
snd_emu10k1_mixer0\n");
if ((err = snd_ac97_bus(emu->card,
&bus,&pbus)) < 0)
return err;
printk(KERN_ERR "DEBUG: snd_emu10k1_mixer
1\n");
memset(&ac97, 0, sizeof(ac97));
ac97.private_data = emu;
ac97.private_free =
snd_emu10k1_mixer_free_ac97;
printk(KERN_ERR "DEBUG: snd_emu10k1_mixer
1.5\n");
if ((err = snd_ac97_mixer(pbus, &ac97,
&emu->ac97)) < 0)
return err;
printk(KERN_ERR "DEBUG: snd_emu10k1_mixer
2\n");
produced:
DEBUG: entered snd_card_emu10k1_probe
DEBUG: 0
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0f.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:09.0
DEBUG: 1
DEBUG: 2
DEBUG: 3
DEBUG: 4
DEBUG: 5
DEBUG: entered snd_emu10k1_mixer
DEBUG: snd_emu10k1_mixer 0
DEBUG: snd_emu10k1_mixer 1
DEBUG: snd_emu10k1_mixer 1.5
ALSA control.c:323: control 2:0:0:Center Playback Volume:0
is already present
EMU10K1 DEBUG: Check to see if this message works
EMU10K1/Audigy soundcard not found or device busy
So the problem lies in:
if ((err = snd_ac97_mixer(pbus, &ac97, &emu->ac97)) < 0)
return err;
With that line commented out, the module loads fine with no
errors in dmesg or elsewhere, and sound programs open the
device justr fine - but no sound.
EVEN MORE
I tried using the emu10k1.o non-ALSA driver from Creative
(V0.20) and that worked! Mostly. The front two speakers
work, but nothing else does.
After configuring emu10k1.conf and running emu-script, some
really weird things happen - the volume control in xmms no
longer affects the left-front speaker, for example.
I get the feeling that something about the mixer or control
registers is different on my card than the usual SB Live!
5.1 cards.....
