emu10k1 question

Gontzzo · 01-30-2004, 01:57 PM

Hi, I've installed the emu10k1 drivers correctly but when I reboot linux (salckware 9.1) the sound drivers wouldn't load, so in order to load them i need to type: modprobe emu10k1, is there any file that i need to modify to get emu10k1 loaded at starup??? i've modified modules.conf and looks like this:

alias sound emu10k1 on

can anybody help me???????????????????? thx!

Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, add to the last line

modprobe emu10k1

"Sound Server informational message:
error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (no such file)
the sound server will continue usin the null output devie."

any idea???

If you're using ALSA, after installing the alsa-driver you must run the ./snddevices script witch generates the needed devices under /dev (which are missing from your sistem now so that's why you get the error), and then you must make the devices readable for other users, so do :
chmod a+rw /dev/dsp
chmod a+rw /dev/mixer
chmod a+rw /dev/sequencer
chmod a+rw /dev/midi
Do this unless you plan to use your sound only in superuser mode.

Go here http://www.alsa-project.org/ and download the alsa driver, unpack it , and the shell script snddevices is in the top level folder.

FYI it's already in the rc.modules on line 217 approximatly, all you have to do is uncomment it.
