I'm not sure if I'm diagnosing this correctly, but I think I'm having an
IRQ conflict.
I've been having a right headache attempting to get my SBLive card working
under Mandrake 7.0, and I've read alot of web pages and newsgroup messages
that purport to fix the problem, and even after working them all out with
a fair amount of understanding about the underlying stuff in linux, I
really do think that the problem is an IRQ conflict.
The quick summary is that after I have removed all sound related drivers
from the kernel, andkilled all sound related processes, I insmod
soundcore, no complaints, and then insmod emu10k1.
But I _always_ get the following:
./emu10k1.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Now everything that tries to detect my soundcard tells me its an ensoniq
1371 or something like that, and looking at the pci information, I see
that an Ensoniq ES1371 is reported and is using IRQ 10, supposedly.
Thats it in a nutshell. I'm about to install windows dual boot I think,
just to see if I can get all the IRQ etc information firgured out. Please
let me know where my thinking is going astray, and if my guess is right,
how I go about resolving it (pass flags to the insmod command when loading
the driver?) ?
Thanks,
David
