sound blaster live support
Any easy way to get a sound blaster live working in debian testing? I am googling right now but would really appreciate any hints. Walt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you are using a 2.4.x Debian kernel image: apt-get install alsa-modules-`uname -r` alsa-base alsa-utils That should install the modules to match your running kernel and the necessary utilities. For configuration information you may want to read the following web site (long link): http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labscard=Soundblaster+Livechip=EMU10K1module=emu10k1#modp If you're not using a 2.4.x kernel I would highly recommend upgrading to one before trying to get the SB Live working. -- Jamin W.

I personally just use the emu10k1 module, it sounds good, and works fine $ modprobe emu10k1 -- Cheers, rinmak [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is documented in the install guide, but nearly everyone seems to miss it :) If you don't need the midi support, emu10k1 (afaik comes in most of the 2.4.x kernels) works just fine. if you want midi support (that is hardware midi, you can always play midi emulation with timidity) you'll have to use the alsa driver. there is a nice article about alsa in debian: http://www.linuxorbit.com/modules.php?op=modloadname=Sectionsfile=indexreq=viewarticleartid=541 As for SBLive specific alsa options you can find them in the alsa-project webpage (there is a link to that in the article). -- Rob Weir [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ertius.org/ Bye -- Haim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

FW: Sound Blaster Live Support
Sound support seems to be one of the less well documented areas for Linux in general and Debian in particular (go ahead, flame away and point me to the how-to's I missed!). I know I SHOULD be able to get a happy configuration with my Sound Blaster Live - but I'm not getting very far. The frustrating part is the lack of consistency - sometimes I can get things to work, and sometimes not. I'm trying to get comfortable with Debian - to actually get a feel for how it works (without messing with code or re-compiling the kernel!) and how to support it. So I just keep re-installing to see which steps mess me up less than others. Can someone point me to a resource to understand the sound support available in Debian? Stuff that will explain to me the differences between OSS, ESD, ALSA, etc.? And then of course adding a desktop environment like KDE or GNOME adds another layer. BTW, I'm using Woody - I think. I started messing with my sources.list, just for fun, and I may have partially upgraded to Sarge or Sid. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I started messing with my sources.list, just for fun, and I may have partially upgraded to Sarge or Sid. I had the same problem. What you need is the driver for your sound card. For the SoundBlaster Live card, it is emu10K. Unfortunately, I had all kinds of trouble getting this driver to compile and load. I could only find it as source, not a .deb file. Fortunately, when I upgraded from kernel 2.2.x to 2.4.20 (that is from 'testing'; I think 2.4.19 is in 'stable') it included the emu10K driver as a module, so it just worked. To change kernels, run dselect (or your favorite apt frontend) and pick a newer kernel. It will update your lilo configuration. Reboot, and it should 'just work'. - Bobman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
