I have an Audigy and using Mandrake 9.1.

I cannot get the driver to install. I think I am missing the Kernal file.
I'm I not suppose to do this in the graphic mode?

Can anyone tell me what to do or where I can find instructions for a complete newbie.

Hey guy,

If there is any info I can get you. Please let me know.

Can't remember the precise details, but I got a 5.1 live! digital. When I installed my 9.1 last week, initially I didn't have any sound the system insisted on offering my both the emu10k1 driver and one called Audigy.

It had gone for the "audigy" driver - alphabetically? don't know, but from my memory, go into mandrake control centre>hardware>hardrake>then under soundcard click on the device (presuming that it's detected the audigy 2 card), you should then see some stuff in the right hand "information" box, if you then click on "run config tool" (I think that's right) box, you get another dialogue up that allows you to change the settings for driver etc as well as "troubleshoot".

Try that. What you will get if you try the troubleshoot option, god only knows, I was lucky enough to be able to just change the driver to emu10k1 and got the sound straight off ( but having said, I did already know that I needed to use that particular driver, from when I installed the soundcard under 9.0).

Hope this is of some help!

regards

John

Ok, my driver according to the sound configuration panel in the Mandrake Control Center is snd-emu10k1 (EMU10K1).

Using the troubleshooter I used all the command and have the following:

That's pretty much it. I hope this help. Thanks in advance.
