Mandrake 8.0 vs. Soundblaster Live Soundcard
Hello,
I am a brand-new(bie) Linux user. I recently installed Mandrake 8.0 in a dual-boot with Win2k. Everything is running smoothly for the most part (I must say I adore Mandrake and Linux so far) However, I am becoming frustrated with a soundcard problem. My soundcard (Soundblaster Live) functions fine during the initial boot, but after this it ceases to function at all. I have reinstalled Mandrake 3 times, and each time it will work on the first boot, but not afterward. It shows as OK in HardDrake, and I cannot figure out how to get it working again. How would someone with less than 1/4oz. working knowledge of Linux/Unix go about fixing this? Thank you very much in advance for your help! |
sounds to me like its not loading the driver on boot up. I dont remember the exact name of the SBLive driver..but it should be something like emu10k, or something like that. just use modprobe emu10k, should get it workin..i think

that card has always been a bit of a pain to get working properly i'll find a few howto's and post the url's

The URL did the trick. Thanks to all for the help!
