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

After doing some more research, it appears that the Audigy LS (PCI ID
1102:0007) is not supported by the currently emu10k1 or audigy drivers
available for kernel 2.4.22.  And furthermore, I can't find any hits on
the web for any having modified the existing drivers to handle this.  I
toyed with the idea of modifying the audigy (PCI ID 1102:0004)driver to
hit the 1102:0007 PCI ID but decided that I really didn't want to go
through the kernel build to make this happen.

So, it is likely that this card will be returned and placed for
something that is supported(:() in the kernel.

But, I'm still open to suggestions if there are any out there:)

Thanks,

William

Subject: Problems with alsa and SoundBlaster Audigy LS

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
