When I run sndconfig as root from a command line, this is what happens:
First, it tells me about the existing config file being renamed, then detects
the sound card as SB LIVE!. When I tell it to continue, it attempts to play
a sample and this appears:
/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: init_module
device or resource busy
/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/emu10k1.o:
/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/emu10k1.o: insmod
sound-slot- 0-0 failed
then it tries for manual config, and repeats the above upon trying to play a
sample.
However, I have system sounds (sound is on in startup services).
I can play MIDI's through the external interface fine, but none of the four
internal midi synths work. KMIX shows a tab for Creative SBLIVE but says
"invalid mixer Creative SBLive!". The midi player shows all internal devices
as Emu 10k1 wavetable Emu10k1 port 0(1,2,3,) - ALSA Device, and the external
midi as External Midi 0 Midi 0-0 - ALSA Device.
There is no sound from the internal wavetable at all, although the player is
"playing" the file. Any help is greatly appreciated, as I have been trying
to get this card to work through numerous Distros of various flovors of Linus
for over a year now. I have tried the OSS drivers, and still no internal
wavetable. Is it possible that the card is not loading a patch set? If so,
wher do I put the SF2 files, and how do I load them at boot?
Thanks in advance for any help.
