I have the Sound blaster live! driver, downloaded it Complies it and gave me a TON of Syntax Errors and i can't remember what it all said. Please help me -- I can't complie it -- I need the Driver
The first thing many users do is blame the programmers. Chances are that it is your own fault you are getting so many errors. Did you check system requirements? Dependancies? Platform? Did you thoroughly read the readme?
If you want a specific answer, you have to ask a specific question. People here may be able to help if you have searched google, read the docs, and posted specs about gcc, driver version, etc.
Hm. I'm fairly sure the SBLive! does not need a driver; it's supported by the kernel. If you are trying to get sound out of it, you shouldn't need to compile anything.
What exactly did you download, and where did you get it? Did it come with compilation instructions? What are the compilation errors it gave you?
Yeah i use ALSA, which won't do MIDI, which means No Music in games, and I have a Nice 4-Speaker System with Subwoofer, ans i Can't get Sound From all 4 Speakers, Just the two Front ones.
