Ok this guy has the exact setup as me, Only I don't even know how to get my turn digital ouptut on in linux, let alone on boot LOL Guess that is why I'm a linux newbie. Anyhow, was wondering if someone could explain the emu-config -d to me. I ran it in a terminal and nothing happend just command not found so i'm aperently dooing somthing wrong and then after that if you kind enough could you explain what I have to do to /etc/rc.local host, to get my speakers to boot on digital insted of analog.

Thanx alot,
Zeth

P.S. here is the message i found.
-------------------------
I am using a SoundblasterLive sound card, and Boston Acoustic digital speakers. Using emu10k, I get output to headphone on analog, and used emu-config -d to switch to digital output for the speakers.

I have no idea how to set this up so that the output is digital on boot up.

Can anyone help me here?

hello,
can your put the neccessary commands in /etc/rc.local ?

I have the same setup as you. Here is the process that I under went to get the driver and digital out working on my Redhat 8 system.

Drivers/tools installed(http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1):

emu10k1-v0.20a.tar.bz2
emu-tools-0.9.4-1.i386.rpm

1) extract emu10k1-v0.20a.tar.bz2
cd to emu10k1-v0.20a
make
make install

2) Install emu-tools-0.9.4-1.i386.rpm or tarball(whichever you prefer.

3) edit /etc/modules.conf and add the line:
alias sound emu10k1

This is enough to get the driver working. Now lets work on digital out and loading the proper scripts on startup.

4) cd /usr/local/etc. You should see:
emu10k1.conf
emu-script

5) edit emu10k1.conf and change <USE_DIGITAL_OUTPUT=no> to <USE_DIGITAL_OUTPUT=yes>.

6) Now add the proper lines to /etc/modules.conf so the script will load on startup and also save the mixer settings.

#Loads script on startup
post-install emu10k1 /usr/local/etc/emu-script
#Saves mixer levels
post-install emu10k1 /usr/local/etc/emu-script restore
pre-remove emu10k1 /usr/local/etc/emu-script save

Example of modules.conf file:

alias sound emu10k1
post-install emu10k1 /usr/local/etc/emu-script
post-install emu10k1 /usr/local/etc/emu-script restore
pre-remove emu10k1 /usr/local/etc/emu-script save

7) Enjoy!
