SoundBlaster Live and VIA MoBo

steve_d555 · 11-21-2004, 03:26 PM

Got a new SoundCard as Built-in one on motherboard isnt didnt work (or i couldnt get it to work), so I install it and put in the snd-emu10k1 in my kernel, and tried to get it up and running, but it still uses my Shuttle AK32VN Motherboards Soundcard and whenever i try to get it working with my PCI Card nothing happens and no sound comes out.

Here is my lsmod output:

Code:

snd_rawmidi            20644  4 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1,snd_mpu401_uart

I am also positive my kernel recognizes my soundcard.

Thanx

The SB live is usually a simple task to get working - normally just plug it in and set your levels in alsamixer.

If that hasn't worked and you've checked everything else then maybe change it's PCI slot...happened to me once that the last slot on teh board gave no sound but a different slot worked fine.

lsmod & lspci output look fine for a SB Live!

Run these commands and post the output

Code:

cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/devices

If the card is a Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24bit then take a look at:

It would appear that they have changed the chipset.
