 |

I'm trying to set up alsa with a SB Live! value card (emu10k1) and I'm having no luck. I'm unable to load the module for my soundcard. I've included my /etc/modules.d/alsa config and some output from my syslogs and dmesg if they help:
| Code: |
# Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.1 2003/08/05 21:07:55 johnm Exp $
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.

The module load error from syslog:
| Code: |

And here is some dmesg info on the error:

mentions moving the card to another pci slot. Have you tried that? It looks like you have everything else in order. And, it sounds like a good fix for that IRQ collision.

Hi-I had exactly the same problem you are having (same card and same driver). My recommendation if to start all over using:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
I had it working previously, and it broke (root cause unknown). I had previously used the 2.6 and Alsa Howto (search on Helena). The first two posts might also get you there as well. However, I recommend the link above. It worked for me.
Good luck! |

I already followed the alsa guide you mentioned. That's how I got where I am now.
I guess the next step is to move the card and see if that helps. I can't say that's an elegant solution, there has to be a way to get it working other than that.

There appears to be real problems with the alsa drivers 0.9.8 ebuild. I built the latest 1.0.2 and the module loaded fine.
I got the idea to do this from this discussion: (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=20369)
If a moderator reads this, please put this as sticky as many people seem to be dealing with this issue.

I also, cannot get ALSA to work. Originally I got it to work just fine. I did an adventurous "emerge depclean" (I changed some flags and wanted all my programmes to be reflective of those changes), the emerge -e world.
When I rebooted ALSA didn't work. I've re-followed the gentoo alsa document a number of times with no success. The problem I get is when I run amixer. The error message reads "amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory" So I ran "modprobe [snd-etc etc as listed in the document]" But modprobe could not locate the modules. After reading this thread I thought the ALSA driver version was buggy (.9 so emerge 1.01.
I still get the same messages. Can anyone help.
Thanks!
