Angry snd-emu2k1 module missing after installing Intel sound driver snd-azx


I am running Suse-9.1 kernel 2.6.4-52-smp on an intel 915GV mainboard with 512 MB DDR400 memory and SBLive value soundcard. The onboard graphics are working fine and after updating the drivers from Intel's website I could get OpenGL working too. However the onboard sound was not detected. I was therefore using my SBLive! sound card with snd-emu10k1 drivers loaded (automatically done during the install) thru ALSA. When Intel released their new audio drivers for linux I downloadsd and installed the drivers. Thereafter, the onboard sound got detected using module snd-azx but the sound was very choppy with frequent gaps, crackles and hisses. So I decided to add the Live! card as card #2 but got the error
"an error occurred during the installation of
CT 4832 SBLive Value
The kernel module snd-emu10k1 for sound support
could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect
module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters."

This is my lsmod output

What should I do to activate the snd-emu-10k1 driver again (where do I find the module now that it has been overwritten).

I would start by disabling the onboard card in your BIOS to free up an IRQ.
Your emu10k1 module may not have been overwritten. After boot try 'modprobe emu10k1'. Still getting an error?

Well, I think that unknown symbol errors are a result of trying to load a module that was built against a different version of the kernel than the one you are running.

As a last resort, you can try running 'depmod -a' to rebuild your module dependancy table. Not sure if this will work though...

If you are comfortable building your own kernel, I would just do that. Add support for your soundcard in the drivers -> sound -> alsa -> pci cards section. There you will find the snd-emu10k1 setting.

depmod -a didn't work.
Guess kernel recompiling is required?

Not sure if it is strictly required, but it is probably the easiest way to get your soundcard up and running at this point...

I am not sure what else to tell you if your modules will not load...

Similar problem

Hi,

I have a similar problem. I updated SuSE 9.3 to 10.0. After boot-up I was not longer able to get sound. I removed the SB Live card and enabled the on-board sound card. Still did not work, I re-installed the SB Live card and treated it like new hardward added. In the config of the card, I got the error about and I/O or IRQ conflict. And that emu10k1 could not be loaded. I have no idea of how to re-complie a kernel.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Now that I'm home. I've typed in modprobe emu10k1. I get no output? Does mean that things are working???

It means the module loaded successfully.
Do you have sound now? Don't forget to make sure any audio/video apps you use are set to use OSS rather than Alsa output...

Yast will not allow me to setup the sound card (SB Live). Error that emu10k1 can not be loaded. Possibly due to IRQ conflict or I/O error.

Why use OSS instead of ALSA? Is this new for SuSE 10.0?

Thanks for your help.

Well it is curious. I found that the sound card and modem were using the same IRQ. Since I'm no longer using the dial-up modem I removed it. The I/O address of the sound changed but kept the same IRQ. Though, there are two (2) USB controllers that are also using the same IRQ. I thought there was a IRQ-sharing technology out there?

I've checked the order that module are loaded and appears fine. I'm still left with Yast refusing me to configure the sound card.

Any ideas? Thanks.

But you already loaded it...that's what 'modprobe emu10k1' did. My opinion: don't bother with yast at this point. Just try playing something with xmms or whatever, and see if you have sound.

emu10k1 is the OSS driver, and snd-emu10k1 is the Alsa driver. Alsa is actually the newer soundsystem, it it generally has better quality, but since you have the oss module loaded, might as well try it for now.

My error, it actually is the snd-emu10k1 module that is loaded. I disabled ACPI and tried again, with no luck. I don't understand, all I did was upgrade to Suse 10.0, why didn't setting stay the same?

Still pushing ahead, thanks for your input.
