hi friend,

your sound card need amnd configure
try "modprobe sb"
if this command didn't work use
alsaconf

Your Lucent modem need instalation third party driver,
you can get this in www.linmodems.org.


all right ?

I am not familiar with Knopix; but, all devices you mentioned have been recognized and configured on my machines by RH9 and Lindows4.

The audigy uses the emu10k1 module. Do lsmod and see if it's loaded. If not, try 'modprobe emu10k1' to load it. I use a knoppix cd to image my drive with sometimes. I don't have sound off that live cd anyway, but I have my audigy working fine in Gentoo and Slackware with said driver.

Umm no. lsmod to see which drivers are loaded. insmod to load one. Or modprobe to load one.

i had an exact same problem with an Audigy 1 platinum, modprobe sb didn't work, and strangely neither did modprobe emu10k1, but running alsaconf got it working right away

What I had to do on my IBM T20 to get sound to work on Woody is this:
- Make sure I had no sound servers installed or running
- Install alsa-base, alsaconf, alsa-modules-source and setmixer
- Compile alsa-modules-source (I had to do this manually) by doing a conifgure/make install in /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver (I compiled the drivers with OSS emulation)
- Run alsaconf, selecting the appropriate sound card.
- Symbolically link the /etc/alsa/modutils/0.5 file to /etc/modutils/alsa-sound
Run
- Edit /etc/modutils/alsa-sound and change "snd-card-cs461x" to "cs46xx" (this is specific to the Cirrus Logic 46xx series of soundcard, but a similar step may be required for other cards)
- (I then rebooted, to see if sound would work from boot)
- Run setmixer to set the desired sound levels
- Run "/etc/init.d/setmixer stop" to save the desired sound levels

I might even make a HOWTO of it ...
