Re: emu10k1 WILL NOT load!

[Barry <bpauw@telus.net>]

Hey,

Are you trying to use OSS or ALSA drivers? 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
