I have installed Mandrake Linux 8.0 and (briefly) 8.1 on my Gateway PentiumIII with a SB Live value card, but can't get the sound to work. I have installed the ALSA utilities and when I try to unmute with amixer, I get the message "The ALSA sound driver was not detected in this system". Mandrake 8.0 is presently installed with kernel 2.4.7-12.3mdk. 8.1 seemed to have other problems in addition to the lack of sound. I am a relative newbee to Linux.
dmesg reports: Creative EMU10K1 PCI Audio Driver, version 0.7, 16:29:54 Aug 20 2001 PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 01:0a.0 emu10k1: EMU10K1 rev 7 model 0x8032 found, IO at 0xdf80-0xdf9f, IRQ 11 cat /proc/modules reports: emu10k1 49232 0 soundcore 3984 4 [emu10k1] The only entry in my modules.conf file was: alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 I feel modules.conf should have more entries for emu10k1 than that single one. I have read all the faq's and howto's I can find and most examples have several entries for the sound drivers. I could not find anything for emu10k1, however. (the latest entry in the HOWTO was 1999) Can anyone post an example modules.conf for a distro of Linux using kernel 2.4.x? Hopefully someone out there is using Mandrake 8.x with a SB Live successfully. I could get no help from the Mandrake folks, so I am appealing to the source... Thanks for your attention.
