If you showed the full output from lsmod, would we see "emu10k1" there? You can't have both OSS and ALSA modules for the card loaded at the same time. My suspicion is that you're using either discover or hotplug (or both), and that it/they run in the boot process before the ALSA scripts do. discover/hotplug is loading the OSS modules for your soundcard because you forgot to blacklist them. Then along comes ALSA, which is unable to load snd-emu10k1 etc. Here's what an lsmod for a machine with the SBLive correctly installed ought to look like: stax:~-508> lsmod | sort Module Size Used by Tainted: P [ stuff snipped ] snd 34244 1 [snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-hwdep snd-util-mem snd-ac97-codec snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] snd-ac97-codec 55164 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-emu10k1 76328 2 snd-hwdep 5216 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-mixer-oss 13560 1 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-page-alloc 6328 0 [snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm] snd-pcm 61668 0 [snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss] snd-pcm-oss 38216 0 snd-rawmidi 14208 0 [snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-device 4224 0 [snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] snd-timer 15588 0 [snd-pcm] snd-util-mem 1280 0 [snd-emu10k1] -c P.S.
