emu10k1 WILL NOT load!
Hello debian-user, this is my first submission and is unfortunately due to the
most persistent aggrevating experience I have yet had with Linux. So far, I like
everything about Debian, except for that I can not get sound working. I have not
had this problem with any other distros on this machine (e.g. Red Hat, Mandrake,
Slackware), but I still have much faith in Debian.
My sound card is a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy MP3 and so the corresponding
driver should be emu10k1. I am running a 2.4.9 kernel and have tried compiling
the driver module directly into the kernel with no luck. So I currently have
the driver compiled as a separate loadable module, however no matter what I try,
I can not get it to load. Running $ modprobe -v emu10k1 I get the following
output:
siva:~# modprobe -v emu10k1
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o
Using /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o
Symbol version prefix ''
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: init_module: No such
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod emu10k1 failed
Ok, so I took the "Hint:" and ran $ lspci -v to obtain irq=5, io=0xd800. Now,
from here I may not know exactly what I'm doing, but I went ahead and ran $
modprobe -v emu10k1 irq=5 io=0xd800 and received:
siva:~# modprobe -v emu10k1 irq=5 io=0xd800
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o irq=5
io=0xd800

/lib/modules/2.4.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod emu10k1 failed
Well, now I'm fresh out of ideas. Could someone please help me?! I am dying to
get this working so that I can honestly proclaim Debian as the best OS.
