Hi I am new to Arch linux. I am currently using Debian woody.

I would like some help in installing it.

I have arch-0.6 CD.

1.Fist I boot by typing arch

then I load modules by modprobe, in lib/modules/kernel/2.6.3/ directory

but I did find any modules for sound ( I have Creative Audigy ).

How do you think?

p.s sorry for my English, i am trying

Hi there!

Should be under soundblaster audigy and you also need the latest version of Alsa to make it work according to linux compatable site.

nameserver 192.168.112.254
nameserver 212.59.0.1
nameserver 195.182.73.221
# End of file

then /etc/rc.conf
#
MODULES=(8139too !usbserial !ide-scsi)

# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp"
#
lo="lo 192.168.112.27" #lo="lo 127.0.0.1
eth0="eth0 192.168.112.27 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.112.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

#
gateway="default gw 192.168.112.254"
ROUTES=(!gateway

#
DAEMONS=(syslogd klogd !pcmcia network netfs crond)

you still have that ! in the ROUTES entry of rc.conf. remove it, save the file, restart network and all will be fine

Just a shot in the dark, I had this problem once with a different distro running sound with Alsa.
I fix the problem by changing the sound driver.
Alsa insisted on putting snd-emu10k1..... I choose emu10k1... instead of snd-emu10k1... in your case it might be reverse of what I did.

Mindaugas · 2004-03-30 05:42:08

Hi

I try this:

[root@deimas emu10k1]# pwd
/lib/modules/2.6.3/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1
[root@deimas emu10k1]# ls
snd-emu10k1-synth.ko snd-emu10k1.ko
[root@deimas emu10k1]# modprobe snd-emu10k1.ko
FATAL: Module snd_emu10k1.ko not found.

Any mind?

Problem solved

need:

depmod -a
modprobe snd-emu10k1 ( not snd-emu10k1.ko )
