Audigy 2 on 2.6.x kernel

i have set the emu10k1 to be built in (also tried as module), but couldn't get alsa to recognize my card.
also, i have seen that one some sites it says to use the emu10k2 module, since its more compatible with Audigy 2.
i looked in other threads, the instructions there aren't compatible with 2.6 kernels (or i might be just missing something).
if there is a guide for setting up Audigy 2 on a 2.6.x kernel, i'd be more than happy to view it :wink:

I belive there is 2 types of audigy2 cards(zs/ls).
I have a zs(?) and it works perfectly with the ordinary driver(emu10k1).
I think there is a Linux-driver on creatives homepage for the other type of Audigy cards around.

Maybe somebody knows the exact installation/driver solution for you.

good luck!

i got the PCI audigy (not usb), but still if you can post here the installation process you went through it will be swell, 10x

Sorry my bad!

The Audigy(1) card had two kinds of soundchips.

What kind of kernel are you using(how new?)
Check if the newest nitro-sources / ck-sources / mm-sources has the most recent ALSA version. (or compile it manually)

Audigy2 is supported with the new emu10k1 kernel-module.

Good luck!

i tried to put it as module but no luck setting alsa to work with it (it requested snd-seq module).
also, tried to put alsa as module, but it reports device in use when trying to load it.
