above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss
Bruno:What exactly does the above command do?
Owyn, not a clue . . . but I always have a line like that in all my modules.conf too: "above snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss", always the "snd-intel8x0" or in his case "snd-emu10k1" and then "snd-pcm-oss" . . . . Ross, no sound B) . . maybe try without the line "above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss" . . . or replace "snd-emu10k1" with "audigy" in both lines . . . . Run depmod -a ( or reboot ) every time after the change . . . . ;) Bruno

Just grabbed a large sheet of paper to lay out all the variables. Hopefully I will have the notes finished by the time Adam gets back.I am glad I put together the script. It is going to make troubleshooting sound problems a lot easier. Next step is to extend it for other distros. Debian first to be added.

Ok Ross:One change in modules.conf

It needs to be

The change is in the third line. "emu10k1" should have been "audigy"Please install the change with vi (yell if you need instructions on using vi) and reboot, etc.

And one more thing. Please try "alsamixer" in a console. I can use either (at the same time even) to control volumes. In your case it may be that you must use the alsamixer.

If the above does not work, then we will use the tip mentioned earlier.

Ok, here is what I have done after compiling again and again and trying diffent combinations, downloading cvs. It was much simpler than I thought.I have open the modules.conf and remove all the entrys of sound (audigy, emu10k1, and the post-install command of the script).Then I have run the the mcc and then I have gone to hardware devices--> Run Configuration. The default driver was the snd-audigy. Choose Let me pick a driver and choose the emu10k1.Quit the mcc and go at the modules.conf and check that the only sound entry is:alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1rebootsolved with 5.1 surround.You might don't need to go through the mcc, but just removing all the sound lines and just adding the alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 line, works.Ahh! Something else do not try to use the drivers from www.opensound.com/. It DOESN'T work if you DON'T PAY. More accuretly, the trial version works only for 3 hours the first week and then you have to do soundoff and then soundon back again, after the firtst week your soundcard will be blocked for 20min before you can do soundon again. I can NOT understand why this oss is posted as a soloution in some forums (at least at this forum it was posted just once i think).
Your modules.conf should look like this after the edits.

Modification to above procedure.Instead of running MCC.Start a console:sudraksoundThis will bring you to the same configuration dialog, but, you can see any error messages during the config.

Yep. I had a suspicion that might happen. Go to the second procedure (with it's modifications).FYI: I am madly scrambling through "man modules.conf" as you do this. Not light reading.

Ok.1)Make sure you do NOT have any sound jobs running (mixer, etc)2)Repeat the su,draksound step, but this time select snd-emu10k13)Retest and repost results of script.

Give me one more posting from the script. I need to print out several items from this thread. Got to many pieces bouncing now. LOL: You win an award. This is the first time I have actually needed to get printouts in a while. I hate to kill trees.I have to take care of some client work tomorrow morning but will be available after 14:00 EST. I will PM you when I am back on line.

Give me one more posting from the script. I need to print out several items from this thread. Got to many pieces bouncing now. LOL: You win an award. This is the first time I have actually needed to get printouts in a while. I hate to kill trees.I have to take care of some client work tomorrow morning but will be available after 14:00 EST. I will PM you when I am back on line.
I don't think I will be online tomorrow until about early evening.

This is strange because checking:[bruno:~]$ cd /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/[bruno:/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1]$ lssnd-emu10k1.o.gz snd-emu10k1-synth.o.gzThe module should be there . . why does it not load ?? Is it a bad driver and should we get a new version ?B) Bruno
