Multimedia :: no sound (what else is new?)
SBLive! and SB Audigy contain similar chipsets (emu10k1/emu10k2) but it appears that the original OSS SBLive! driver was written prior to the Audigy's release.
There is a now a newer version of the driver which supports Audigy, but I think this has never made its way into the standard kernel.
So, option 1 -
You can compile this newer version yourself, from http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1
I suggest you make sure the new version overwrites the existing version, otherwise you will end up with two modules with identical filenames - emu10k1.o
There's a revised ac97_codec module in this driver package, too.
Option 2 -
Install ALSA. ALSA for DSL2.0 is discussed here - http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....41;st=0
You need to boot with -
dsl alsa=emu10k1
Or with a hard drive install this is achieved by modifying /etc/lilo.conf -
append="alsa=emu10k1 ..."
Then run "lilo". You may also have to run alsaconf once booted, I'm not sure.
Not an extension issue.
Moved to the proper forum.
