If you're using stock debian, make sure the soundcore module is installed (from the drivers disk). Then unpack the sblive tarball, choose the module of your choice (the 0.3 version includes modules for 2.0.37, 2.2.5 and 2.2.10, I believe) and copy it to /usr/lib/modules/2.x.x/misc/sblive.o Then "insmod soundcore && insmod /usr/lib/modules/2.x.x/misc/sblive.o", where 2.x.x is the version of your kernel. Keep in mind that, if you're using a different kernel version, you're SOL. That's about as simple as I can make it... -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCS/M d+(---) s+:+ a- C+++ UH$ P+>(+++) L+++i>$ E-(+) W+++ N- !o K w-- !O M+ V-- PS+++ P E Y+ PGP t !5 X+ R+ tv@ b+++ DI++ D---(++) G e* h- r* z- -END GEEK CODE BLOCK- pgpyGWwICX8ha.pgp Description: PGP signature

I do not like companies that don't suplly information to developers! The only think the users can do is NOT TO BY UNDOCUMENTED HARDWARE! NDAs are only used to hide details about sucking low-end hardware! (See http://ultra.jcu.cz/black.html ALSA Project - Blacklist) I have a SB AWE 64 (shame on me) and IMHO the quality of SB soundcards isn't really good. So I switched back to my old Turtle Beach Tropez that does it's job much better! Bernhard -- __ ___ // )___--"""-. \ |,"( /`--"" `.

Uh, I was under the impression that the install script is only useful under RedHat, I think you have to do it manually. RedHat and Debian has some differences, not only the rpm/deb package systems. I've not tested the sb-live driver yet, havent bought a card yet, so this is just what i've read in the driver archive. /Marcus
sblive,'n debian, one more time...
I know that this is beating the hell out of a dead horse, but please bear with me for one more sblive question...thanks. I was running redhat 6.0 on a regular i386 with an sblive card. when I downloaded and the latest modules, they installed fine, not requireing a reboot or anything. then I switched to debain and tried to run the install script again to re-install the sound drivers (after compiling the proper kernel of course). the script thought everything went allright, but xmms (and mtv and anything else that wanted to use sound) thought otherwise. so, what happened? some one told me that I might need to flash the card on boot up, but redhat never did that between install and sound playing...any thoughts? thanks. -peter
