[mythtv-users] Problems with alsa and SoundBlaster Audigy LS

[William H. Gilmore]

All,

I bought a SoundBlaster Audigy LS this afternoon to replace my whining onboard audio.  I have followed Jarod's instructions to a T, twice!  But alas, no luck!  I receive the following error when attempting to insmod the driver (whether by hand or at bootup).

[root at linux2 root]# /sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at/updates/sound/snd-emu10k1.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at/updates/sound/snd-emu10k1.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at/updates/sound/snd-emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at/updates/sound/snd-emu10k1.o: insmod snd-emu10k1 failed


The OS is RH9.0 patched per Jarod's directions.  alsa worked fine with the onboard VIA8233 though it whined.

The Audigy is detected by the PCI bus per:

[root at linux2 root]# lspci -v
00:08.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs: Unknown device 0007
        Subsystem: Creative Labs: Unknown device 1002
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
        I/O ports at e800 [size=32]
        Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
 
00:08.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs: Unknown device 7005
        Subsystem: Creative Labs: Unknown device 1002
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32
        I/O ports at ec00 [size=8]
        Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2

In reading on the alsa project site, I have found a few other people who have had similar problems but there is no resolution posted.  Do any of you have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

William
