 I have a SoundBlaster Live! (with 5.1 support, whatever this means).

 Judging from the handbook, all I'm supposed to do is put the following
 in the kernel config:
 device pcm
 device sbc

 and put this in /boot/loader.conf:
 snd_emu10k1_load=YES

 And everything should work.

I have a SBLive with 5.1 (5 channel sound with subwoofer[.1]) and have the 
following in loader.conf:
snd_pcm_load=YES  # Digital sound subsystem
snd_emu10k1_load=YES  # Creative Sound Blaster Live

And the sound card works

 And the sound card works

kldstat shows the following:
102 pci/snd_emu10k1
. . .
114 snd_pcm

so snd_pcm is already loaded.

I suspect I've been Delled.   The card was a preinstall at the Dell
factory, and after a lot of googling last night, I discovered that the
version of this card installed by Dell is modified.  This link:
http://www.opensound.com/readme/README.EMU10K1X.html
has a little detail about the oss driver for the Dell modified SB
Live! card.

I downloaded the driver and tried to install it as described, but I
keep getting the following:
# ./oss-install 
Checking for any previously installed sound drivers... 
There is another sound driver loaded. Unload it and try again.

But when I try to kldunload the drivers, I get:
# kldunload snd_emu10k1.ko
kldunload: can't find file snd_emu10k1.ko: No such file or directory

This is turning into a real pain.

Anyone know if the Dimension 8300 onboard sound is easier to get
working?  If I can't return it to Dell, I'll probably wind up putting
the card in another machine.

Thanks for the response.

SoundBlaster Live problems

2004-07-04 Thread Louis LeBlanc 
I'm having another hangup with 5.2.1.  This one is considerably less
critical though.

device sbc

and put this in /boot/loader.conf:

Not really.

I'm not seeing any indication of an unrecognized card or any pcm or
sbc devices in the dmesg output (/var/run/dmesg.boot).

Anyone have any suggestions?

TIA
