Re: emu10k1 WILL NOT load!

["B P" <mrlunchkit@hotmail.com>]

Hey,

As far as I know the emu10k1 drivers that are included in the kernel will 
not work for the audigy.

Go here for an explanation of the emu10k1 alsa drivers:

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php3?company=Creative+Labs&card=Soundblaster+Audigy+Platinum&chip=Audigy&module=emu10k1

If you're using the testing distribution you can download alsa-base, 
alsa-utils, and alsa-source using dselect or apt-get. Instructions on how to 
compile and install alsa-source (the drivers) are included in the package. 
If memory serves, the sources from the stable distribution didn't work for 
me, so if they don't work you may want to try downloading the drivers from 
http://www.alsa-project.org.

Regards,

Barry
