Audigy problem, something simple needing help!
 

I had to do some finagly to get this to work but the device is busy apparently. after running make it compiles just fine till this comes up

**
** The driver was succefully compiled, now install it with:
** make install
**
mkdir -p //lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1
install -c -m 664 emu10k1.o //lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1
install -c -m 664 ac97_codec.o //lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/sound
/sbin/depmod -a 2.4.18-3
/sbin/modprobe -r emu10k1.o ac97_codec.o
ac97_codec.o: Device or resource busy
make: *** [install] Error 1


How can I make that device UNbusy lol so I can finish this install :)

btw just now getting my RH desktop setup

If you run /sbin/lsmod does that module show up in the list? If so, you should rmmod it... but you may need to rmmod other stuff first. That reminds me... (just off to start a new thread)

emu10k1 68320 0 (autoclean)
via82cxxx_audio 20480 0 (autoclean)
uart401 7936 0 (autoclean) [via82cxxx_audio]
ac97_codec 11872 0 (autoclean) [emu10k1 via82cxxx_audio]
sound 71916 0 (autoclean) [via82cxxx_audio uart401]
soundcore 6692 9 (autoclean) [emu10k1 via82cxxx_audio sound]

i guess so. how do I remove these modules so I can setup the new ones?

rmmod emu10k1
rmmod via82cxxx_audio
rmmod uart401
rmmod ac97_codec
rmmod sound
rmmod soundcore

Then run make again and see if that helps.

[root@localhost root]# rmmod ac97_codec
ac97_codec: Device or resource busy
[root@localhost root]# rmmod sound
sound: Device or resource busy
[root@localhost root]# rmmod soundcore
soundcore: Device or resource busy

What now??

Try doing rmmod -a several times, and then doing an lsmod to see if it/they have been removed. If so, then you know what the next step is... if not, then post the output of your lmsod here (all of it?).

still not working

[root@localhost root]# rmmod -a
[root@localhost root]# lsmod

Did you?

oops sorry.. ok I did this time, went back to make install make tools make installt-tools everything installed fine, but still no sound :(

So, you have done all the makes? Have you done modprobe emu10k1?

Basically, what you do is:
Remove all the sound related modules
'make' the files that creates a new module
insert the new module.

modprobe if its doing anything i havent noticed it, but ran it anyway
[root@localhost emu10k1-v0.20a]# make
**
** The driver was succefully compiled, now install it with:
** make install
**

Its loaded, mixer settings says Audidy on it to emu10k1, so I guess its loaded but nothing works. I rebooted just incase too, nothing.

lsmod incase you see something I dont, Im still new to linux yet.

[root@localhost emu10k1-v0.20a]# lsmod

I appreciate your help with everything too!!!

Are you doing this from a terminal from within a GUI, or from the command line with no X running?

I have KDE loaded up right now, im doing this from a terminal window

OK, I just wondered. I usually quit from X whenever I do stuff like this. I can't understand why you should be getting these problems. The installation file (below) is really basic, and hasn't failed on me yet! Have you tried rebooting? I know that is a sin in Linux... but...

Yea I rebooted just incase :)
Only thing I can think of is to remove everything and start over..

I loaded it from here
/root/emu-tools-0.9.4/ any way to uninstall everything and start over??
