Hi,

I have installed RH9. Everythings works O.K, except I have no sound.

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 6 audio card. Can anyone direct me to the correct
drivers?

Thanks.

Emu10k1 is the correct driver. Im sure its built into your kernel, its very common.

Simply do this as root:
This is the OSS driver. If you want to use ALSA (which redhat may or may not come with), you'll need to load a different module (snd-emu10k1).

I tried your suggestion

It did not work. I am kind of new, so I am not able to locate what the exact problem is.

Below the response I got after executing the modprobe command.

[root@kbl-gs8226 root]# modprobe emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.4.20-30.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-30.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-30.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-30.9/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod emu10k1 failed
[root@kbl-gs8226 root]#

the OSS emu10k1 module in kernel 2.4.20 doesnt work properly with Audigy, only SB live,
you can either try this updated one:
http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sou...v0.20a.tar.bz2
or install ALSA drivers
http://alsa-project.org/

Both require you to have kernel sources installed in /usr/src/linux, you can find the RPM on one of the CDs but you will need to update it to 2.4.20-30.9, or just grab the updated RPM from any Redhat mirrors. Remember to read the docs for the installation procedure.

Try going to the Gnome menu>System Settings>Soundcard Detection.

For some odd reason, with my SB live, it would only work if I ran that.

I downloaded the following Alsa-packages:

alsa-driver-1.0.3rc2.tar
alsa-lib-1.0.3rc2.tar
alsa-utils-1.0.3rc2.tar

I followed the Alsa instructions below:

Unzip and install the alsa-driver package

bunzip2 alsa-driver-xxx
tar -xf alsa-driver-xxx
cd alsa-driver-xxx
./configure --with-cards=emu10k1 --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install

The snddevices script sets the permissions for the devices it creates to root. You should

chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi

Now unzip and install the alsa-lib package

cd ..
bunzip2 alsa-lib-xxx
tar -xf alsa-lib-xxx
cd alsa-lib-xxx
./configure;make;make install

Now unzip and install the alsa-utils package

cd ..
bunzip2 alsa-utils-xxx
tar -xf alsa-utils-xxx
cd alsa-utils-xxx
./configure;make;make install

Now insert the modules into the kernel.

modprobe snd-emu10k1;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss


When I run alsamixer I get the following error:

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

Does anyone have a clue.
