[SOLVED]Sound Blaster Audigy problem

Xyzk · 2007-07-22 22:30:03

I have problem with Sound Blaster Audigy card. What is the problem? I want to use IT not other, motherboard-integrated. What`s more, after reboot i cannot load alsa-emu10k1 module, and it`s not in

$ lsmod|grep ^snd
snd_seq_oss            29056  0
snd_seq_midi_event      6528  1 snd_seq_oss

snd_timer              19076  3 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    44516  19 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_ca0106,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_ac97_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc          7816  3 snd_ca0106,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm

Argh ;( Heelp!

Are you sure its compatible with ALSA? Some are not. Check it here: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/in … All#matrix

First of all, the module name is snd-emu10k1

For make it working along with the integrated one, I have this in ~/.asoundrc

pcm.emu10k1 { type hw card 0 }
ctl.emu10k1 { type hw card 0 }

pcm.hda-intel { type hw card 1 }
ctl.hda-intel { type hw card 1 }

so that the Audigy will always be the card 0 and the integrated one the 1. Then use your player to select which one you want to use putting "default" or "hw:0" (I'm not sure of the correct spelling of this one), and it will use the Audigy.

Hope it helps

I will send you a line of code (it means more than 1000 words)

# modprobe snd-emu10k1
FATAL: Error inserting snd_emu10k1 (/lib/modules/2.6.21-ARCH/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

And - i don`t have this ~/.asoundrc file. Should i make it with nano, or i forgot to install something?

Have you tried to reboot twice? I have almost the same soundcard, I had to reboot twice to make my arch system find my sound card.

Xyzk · 2007-07-23 14:08:18

Hmm i rebooted 3 times today... +yesterday and 2days ago.. nach. I don`t think this is it.

Yes, you have to create it, it's the configuration file for alsa (or at least it's what I think is).

Anyway, are you using the standard kernel or have you compiled and customized yourself? It looks to me like a mismatch between the module and the kernel version.
About the "ac_quirk", have you something in your modprobe.conf file? Sort of

options snd-emu10k1 ac97_quirk=something

?

Xyzk · 2007-07-24 13:28:42

#
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
options snd-emu10k1  ac97_quirk=0

and it`s official kernel .

So try to comment out the line in modprobe.conf and see if it solves your problem

Xyzk · 2007-07-25 22:08:48

Ergh... still same.

I`m not sure, but maybe the main problem is that with each reboot i don`t have the snd-emu10k1 in lsmod|grep output? I tried with other drivers, they are not staying after reboot also.

And yes, my sound card is working while using windows.

onearm · 2007-07-26 07:26:53

Let me understand better, if you load snd-emu10k1 manually does it work? And any other module, do they load manually?
If yes at both questions, given that you have set the MODULES line in rc.conf and commented out any possibly troublesome line in modprobe.conf, I don't have any more suggestions other than showing my modprobe.conf for comparision (I have an Audigy too and an intel-hda audio chipset on the motherboard):

alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
options snd-hda-intel index=1
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss

... ARGH!

I made experiment- tried EACH module that i could found from creative labs....

And yes, it worked. Don`t ask me how, i`m sure i had card with emu10k1 mod. But it was ca0106. ? How? Why?

onearm · 2007-07-27 07:17:43

I'm glad it's solved

Anyway, your card should be then an Audigy LS because the ca0106 module is its driver (as you can read here).
