soundblaster audigy and the newbie
 

i've read through a few threads here, and i'm just not following clearly.

i need to get my soundblaster audigy working, and have no idea where to start.

i have downloaded the emu10k1 driver, but have no idea what to do with it.

any help with this advanced windows user turned pre-school linux user would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance

Hopefully those instructions help! If not, post back.

well, when i do those steps, and i type make, it tells me that i shoulc copy the correct .config file into my linux-2.4 directory. and it tells me where to find it. the problem is there are about 15 .config files in there. which one do i copy?

[root@bluedoom emu10k1]# make
make -Cscripts
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/emu10k1/scripts'
cc -I/usr/src/linux-2.4/include get_version.c -o get_version
make -f /root/emu10k1/scripts/Makefile.get_options -C /usr/src/linux-2.4 get_version_target
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3'
**
** /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config is missing
** if this is a custom kernel then you need to run make config in /usr/src/linux-2.4.
** if this is a distribution kernel then you need to copy the correct .config file to /usr/src/linux-2.4.
** for RedHat kernels the .config file is one of the /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs/*.config
**
make[2]: *** [get_version_target] Error 1

that's what i'm getting..............

post the output of
uname -a

In Redhat, they have a lot of .config files in /usr/src/linux/configs. You'll have to find the one that matches your processor and copy that to the /usr/src/linux. EX: "cp /usr/src/linux/configs/******.config /usr/src/linux/.config That worked for me in 7.3. After that, you should be able to compile no problem.

[root@bluedoom emu10k1]# uname -a
Linux bluedoom 2.4.18-3 #1 Thu Apr 18 07:32:41 EDT 2002 i686 unknown
[root@bluedoom emu10k1]#



i'll try that copy that you suggested, darkmage

okay, copying and renaming the .config with my processor name in it and renaming it just .config, worked.

now, new problem, when i try make install, i get one error. i have no idea what the error is..........

this is what i get...........

**
** 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 -as 2.4.18-3
make: *** [install] Error 1

???

That is weird. I'll try to look for an answer. Anyone setup an Audigy in Redhat before that's seen this error???

I don't know if it will make a difference or not but are you compiling as root? If not, you may want to try. You never know!

yes, i am.........; )

You may need to update your kernel to at least 2.4.18-6, someone please tell me if I'm wrong.

well, i updated to the latest on the redhat site, 2.4.18-5, and still no luck

okay, i solved that problem, i get no errors throughout the entire install process, until i check it. i get this:

[root@bluedoom sbin]# modprobe emu10k1
