Auidigy Install Problems
hiyas,
In Redhat 7.3 I can sucessfully install the emu10k1 drivers from theaudigy-drivers-2002-02-14.tar.gz package up the the make install then I get Code:
/sbin/depmod -a 2.4.18-3bigmem the command # /sbin/modprobe emu10k1 shows: Code:
[root@localhost emu10k1-audigy]# /sbin/modprobe emu10k1 Thanks Shak |
After you try: /sbin/modprobe emu10k1
What appears at the end of "dmesg"? Also, if all of these drivers kick on the card, are you certain that they're the right drivers for the card? What's the output (as far as sound goes of): "lspci" Cheers, Finegan |
The demsg for my whole system outputs: (sorry Im not too sure which bit is relavant!)
Code:
[shak@localhost shak]$ dmesg Code:
02:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 03) Thanks for helping! Shak |
Holy flaming crap Batman, a dualie AMD XP MP 19k box! Are you trying to calculate the trajectory of every atom since the big bang?!?! Wanna trade for my 1.2? My sound works :p
No seriously, it looks like you indeed have the right drivers for the job, they're just failing to install??? which is kind of weird. Offhand, where did you get the driver package for the soundcard? Online? Also, RH tends to ship with gcc's that don't compile everything brilliantly, so you might want to upgrade to 3.1.xish or what I do is downgrade to 2.95.4 every bloody time. Yet, that doesn't make sense as to why this thing doesn't probe. I assume the cute "sndconfig" tool was a bust? Offhand, what was wrong with the copy of emu10k1 and ac97_codec that was part of your normal modules? Did they kick in the same way? Cheers, Finegan |
every time I boot into KDE I get dev/dsp errors, is there any way to fix em? I cant get any sound! Also, I dont know what the sndconfig tool is :eek: and I may have to update gcc
I got the pavkage from www.filemirrors.com as it has dissapeared off the link @ http://opensource.creative.com can you explain how you did it? Thanks Shak |
The /dev/dsp errors come from the aRTs sound daemon (or whatever its spelled) bugging on startup. If you want to turn that off, its in the control panel. /dev/dsp offhand is one of two of the physical sound devices. /dev/dsp gets opened when whatever sound driver that goes with card is actually loaded.
From a command-line prompt though, try: "sndconfig" and see what that turns up. You probably will not need to compile things very often (at least not that much at first), RedHat being so easy to locate RPMs for everything, the best place of which that I know of is www.rpmfind.net where if you search for gcc you'll turn up more than you can ever want. You will also need to download a matching version of cc, the pre-compiler for gcc. As to how to install them, I would read up on RPM a little first with "man rpm" from the command line. Again, you may want to shrug this off until later. Luck, Finegan |
rpms, IM no n000b! lol! I have used it on and off for 6 months, I compile strictly from source :)
I will look for the source, I get an error with sndconfig, Im going to install the latest emu10k1 drivers! Shak |
Well shoot man, you're no newb, re-compile 2.4.18 from source fresh and happy from kernel.org. The right emu10k drivers should be part of it. The only RPM based machine I have left offhand is a laptop (okay a Sparc also, but try and find RPMs for that!), and compiling a compiler is just a raging headache, RPM'ing that one is much easier on your time... well wait a minute, you've probably got a gig of RAM and 3200 Mhz of distributed processing power, so each attempt is... 20 seconds? Yeah, ignore that... I think RH 7.2 started with 2.96 as the compiler, which I've compiled 2.4.18 a dozen times over with (it choked on a few gnome bits, mplayer, and some other apps), so there would be no need to swap compilers to redo the kernel. Offhand, hwo long does it take that insane rig to compile one?
Cheers, Finegan |
1 kernel compile = around 1 min with all doing :)
why you think I invest in it? SHak |
Good fat bloated Catfish Batman,
My best, and Taz and a few other jokers on here and I used to have a thread going about compile times, was a svelt: time [make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install] of 3:03 with an Athy 1.2, 512Mb PC133 SDRAM, and an ata 100 HD (a lot of the slowdown comes from disk caching ya know). I did a 2.0.x kernel in 82 seconds once, but at 1/3 the size, it really doesn't compare. Sound turn up yet? Cheers, Finegan |
Ive not recompiled yet, I cant use emu-config due to not having /dev/mixer how do I get it?
SHak |
it exists but:
Code:
[shak@localhost bin]$ emu-config |
emu10k has to modprobe properly, then it will open /dev/mixer /dev/dsp and /dev/sound (I think). There's no way to configure the device until the driver for the device has registered with the kernel. I still say don't trust the source package and just re-compile the kernel from start. Maybe they made the assumption of uni-processor in their Configure script, who knows, but those modules shouldn't have kicked like that.
Cheers, Finegan |
howdly doodly, I think ill do it tommorrow, no chance for Mr Shak he has to go to school tommorrow and its 00:30 :eek:
Thanks mate! ps: I see your a moderatior, thanks for the great forums, most of us in our small online LUG use here lots ;) /ps our LUGs forum URL is: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/for...?s=&forumid=25 :) Shak |
ok, re-compiled, now get
modprobe emu10k1 could not locate moduel emu10k1 :eek: SHak |
