EMU10k1 sound card problem

oribd · 08-14-2006, 01:13 AM

Hi

I tried to find information on the web but no success after a long search (+ a look at the threads here) I decided to post my problem here.

I have an onboard sound card and a nother card, "Creative SBLive! 5.1", which worked ok with its module 'emu10k1' (yet no success with midi). After trying a different card, because I had problems with midi, I put the Creative card back, and since then it isn't working. It looks like it's physically damaged, but since I don't know much about this, I'm posting the problem here.

dmesg output:

emu10k1: Warning, unhandled interrupt: 0xe763fc7f

There were a few tens or hundreds of "emu10k1: Warning, unhandled interrupt: 0xe763fc7f".

And lspci output of course:

0000:00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07)
0000:00:0a.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port (rev 07)

I actually think it's damaged physically because the output of 'cat /proc/asound/cards' contains the onboard card only.
But who knows, maybe there's something I don't know, going on inside this box.

Help will be accepted with joy.

Have you tried running alsaconf as root to see if it gets detected there and for the midi once the module for the card is loaded/working use modprobe snd_seq_virmidi as root then see if it is working.

Thanks a lot !!!! Unbelievable!

I actually forgot the 'alsaconf' command, but above that, I thought that if /proc/asound/cards has only one card it means that the other one isn't working, because it's /proc (so there's nothing to do with programs like alsaconf).

Anyway, thanks a lot.

About midi, I'm having trouble recording, but I think it's a problem with rosegarden which I'm useing for recording. Perhaps there are better sequencers?

And a nother thing, perhaps anyone knows anything about gamix having a segmentaion fault with this card? Using the onboard card, gamix opened up.

When I open a vncserver and open gamix in it, it's ok.
I'v tried to find out what is the problem, but no luck (I copied a nother Config for gamix a few times, but that didn't help. Though it did help others.).

And thanks a lot again!
