Multimedia :: SB Audigy Platinum II card



I need a little guidance.

During boot my sound card is recognized and emu10k1 is shown. When I do sndconfig it tells me that emu10k1.o is not in the path. I find the emu10k1.o file in the Emu1ok1 folder in the /sound dir. I do an insmod emu10k1 but get a whole list of unresolved symbol errors. Any idea what is happening? Do I just need to install alsa? Alsa has configured this card in the past on another distro. Thanks

If you can list the errors, they might help..

Stuff like uart not found, etc.. usually mean you need to load
other modules first, before the emu10k1

I guess you already tried from the prompt
'modprobe sb'  ??

Here is my output when I do a "modprobe sb".

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

sndconfig identifies my card, it just tells me that emu10k1 is not in the path.

As I said before, I have had sound working before by using alsa.

Thanks for the help. I have been so busy trying to learn other parts of Linux that this is the first time I have seriously dug into setting up sound.
Thanks

Chris
Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks

Chris
What i've read from other posts and websites, usually the ac97 chipset
is found on many built-in-sound motherboards, and uses the
via82cxxx.o or the ac97.o modules.
You posted that sndconfig identified your
soundcard as the emu10k1, a soundblaster card.
Your insmod errors keep pointing to the ac97 chipset.

Do you have any success installing the uart?
( try insmod uart401 , insmod uart6850 )
Does your motherboard have built-in sound, and is it disabled?
Are you adding a pci soundcard to your box? ( the audigy platinum )

Also, search the forums for using cat with lspci and lsmod.
I don't remember the syntax, but those tools are helpful too.

I will look into this further, and get back to you..
Thanks for the good feedback..
