Re: [newbie] SBlive! in Mandrake 2.2.9
I'm a little confused as to why it doesn't work (it does for me!), my 'conf.modules' can be found at http://www.whitem.demon.co.uk/my_conf_modules.htm if you want to check it out and make sure i gave you the correct syntax, etc. An alternative, but not as tidy method would be to insert the line that you are typing manually each boot into the end of '/etc/rc.d/rc.local'. This script is always the last init script to get run before starting X or the command prompt. Hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] SBlive in Mandrake 2.2.9
For the time being pick up the modules from Creative's site, copy them to '/lib/modules/2.2.9-19mdk/misc' (or whereever) and do an 'insmod -f sblive' to get it going. You will also need to have put the pre/post install lines into your conf.modules as instructed by their readme. I do have a better way of doing it than this, but can't remember off the top of my head. I'll post my conf.modules to my webpage and then post the URL tonight.

I really thanks Martin ans sorry about my little english, I need some help with this becuse I downloaded the files from Cretive labs page: http://developer.soundblaster.com/linux/ and the files are: README mod_conf install_emu10k1 emu10k1.o-2.2.5-15 emu10k1.o-2.2.10 emu10k1.o-2.0.36 My firs problem after read the "README" file was "install_emu10k1" did't work and I tried manual installation. Please tell me if my steps have mistakes: 1. Determine your kernel sound modules installation location (usually /lib/modules/2.x.y/misc) I did it the driversare in "/lib/modules/2.2.9-19mdk/misc" 2. Copy the appropriate driver to that location as emu10k1.o (eg. /lib/modules/2.x.y/misc/emu10k1.o) I tried it butwhat is the right file? for my kernel version? 3. Unload all existing soundcard drivers, including soundcore May be here is the problem, how must I do it? 4. Remove all old soundcard references from /etc/conf.modules In my "conf.modules" file are not sound drivers is a file with 3 lines 5. Add a new reference to the driver in /etc/conf.modules: (eg. "alias sound emu10k1" or "alias char-major-14 emu10k1") I use "alias sound emu10k1" and the other but doesn't work 6.

Re: [Re: [newbie] SBlive in Mandrake 2.2.9]
Hi, Checked out the new driver - not much luck if i used the one for kernel 2.2.10 - not all that surprising really as 2.2.9-19 is LOWER than that one !! (The CD player stuff works fine, but as soon as i play an MP3 which will use the wave table support (??) it breaks and needs a reboot - an unclean one at that). If, however you use the one called 'emu10k1.o-2.2.5-15' everything seems to work fine. Is it just my over keen imagination or does the SBLive start to sound better out of 4 speakers now than with the previous driver - starting to sound as good as it does under windows now - anyone else comment on this ?? Okay - do the following (exactly everything Creative recommend you _DONT_ do, so i take no responsibilty for this ;-) it works fine for me tho!) DO IT ALL AS ROOT (su -) Untar/zip the file from creative. 'cp emu10k1.o-2.2.5-15 /lib/modules/2.2.9-19mdk/misc/emu10k1.o' Remove any existing sound lines from conf.modules Add the following... 'alias sound emu10k1' 'options emu10k1 -f' 'pre-install emu10k1 insmod soundcore' 'post-remove emu10k1 rmmod soundcore' Save the file reboot. Instead of rebooting you could come out of X and then do... 'rmmod soundcore' 'rmmod sblive' (or whatever your old module was called) 'insmod -f emu10k1' For reference my conf.modules can be found at www.whitem.demon.co.uk/my_conf_modules.htm Check out the whole site if you like www.whitem.demon.co.uk you might find something else of interest there !! Good luck, Martin.

Re: [newbie] SBlive in Mandrake 2.2.9
the sblive works just fine with mandrake 6. Download the driver from the creative labs development site: http://developer.soundblaster.com/linux/ Uncompress it and read the readme file for installation instructions. FOLOW THE MANUAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE as otherwise the installation script will complain about a wrong kernel version. Use the 2.2.10 module. Do not add anything to conf.modules though. To load the driver, type: modprobe soundcore insmod -f emu10k1 You will get a warning about the module being compiled for a 2.2.10 kernel, and your being a 2.2.9, you can safely ignore this Now, test sound with the mediaplayer and a wav file. Should work. For the module to load at every startup, include the insmod -f command in your rc.local file.
