alsa probelms emu10k
Hello,
I am new to Debian, though I have used Linux for several years. I recently
installed woody on my computer and have not been able to get my Sound Blaster
Live! working, though it worked on the same machine under Red Hat 8.0.
After installing, I installed/updated the following:
kernel-image-2.4.16-686
alsa-base
alsa-modules
alsa-conf
alsa-utils
alsaplayer
libasound2
my /etc/modutils/alsa looks like this:
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 0.4.3b ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-emu10k1

alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss

on rebooting I get the following in dmesg
emu10k1: EMU10K1 rev 5 model 0x8040 found, IO at 0xd400-0xd41f, IRQ 10

if I do the following, I do get garbled sound output:
cat english.au > /dev/audio
running alsamixer produces this error message:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
After much googling I am at my wits end. Does anyone have any idea how I can
get this working?
Thanks in advance,
Rick
