No Sound

hsimah · 01-13-2006, 05:54 AM

My newest problem! You guys have helped me so much, I have a working mouse, working video card drivers, my own customised kernel (still in progress) and many other things I've found by just searching the forums.

Anyhoo, when I install slack 10.2 everything works well. When I upgraded to 2.6.15 I made sure to include the EMU10k1 driver for my Soundblaster Live! Value. The trouble is I have no sound, not even my internal speaker. I ran alsamixer and unmuted the sound, and aslactl save to save the preferences. I had a few errors at startup anout the sound, but they don't appear anymore. When I run lspci I can see my soundcard there:
02:0a:0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07)

But when I run alsaconf I get three lines of errors (I can't see what they say they flash by too quickly) and the program tells me it cannot find a compatable PCI card.

Any ideas as to what is wrong? I left most of the kernel options as default (I didn't carry over my settings from 2.4 - I messed 'em up)

i have same prob at home
but i dont have time to solve it
i think the problem is that EMU10k1 should be rum as module
i'll try when i have time

I'll try that now. Its just a simple kernel recompile, if I remember correctly.

Done and done. Thank you my friend I will rmemeber that for next time. I really think I have got the hang of this Linux thing!

Volume levels?
try alsamixer (or aumix if you installed it) and look for Master and PCM volume levels.

I also had the same problem. Apparently the sound drivers must be built as modules, otherwise sound refuses to work for some unknown reason. It happened when I went from 2.6.14 -> 2.6.15.

Yep. Sound as modules.

And, if you want DRI to work, video as modules too.
