Soundcard woes...

[area]

I have a Soundblaster Audigy card, and after some searching on the forums, I can see that it is not currently supported although it is correctly detected on boot. However, I could not see if it is possible to install drivers after booting knoppix and then saving the configuration so that each time knoppix is booted, the Audigy card is correctly supported. Is it possible?

Do a:
modprobe emu10k1
See if that gets your audigy working.

Thank you - I'll try that as soon as I can.

I unfortunatly get error messages when I try that - when it tries to run emu10k1.o I get "init_module: no such device". Then insmod fails, and it suggests I look through the output from dmesg and that the failure is due to a IO or a IRQ error. I believe that the relavant bit of the output from dmesg is:

hda1 is a NTFS Windows XP Pro disk. I might be missing something obvious, but I don't see why this should make a difference - I have a permanent home set up on a ZIP disk and so there shouldn't be any reason at all to try and go to hda1, should there? I appreciate any help

EDIT: Sorry, there was a bit more in the file that was relavant. Added. Also, the emu10k1 driver appears to be loaded already

If it's easier, I'll just upload the relavant files.

All of those error messages are referring to hdd (I would assume the CD-Rom you are running from) I think that you have a bad CD.

I redownloaded Knoppix after a MD5 check on my old iso failed. It passed the MD5 check and I burnt it. However, I'm still getting the error messages when I try to modprobe emu10k1 and dmesg gives me the same errors.

You have to be logged in as root, no?
As most of you can imagine, I'm on the CD Knoppix, and I was told that if you lock the terminal or try and log in as root, you can't because there's no pasword set or...something.

Assistance?

I'm fairly sure that I've logged in as root, and yet I'm still getting those error messages

Audigy works with alsa.

See in changelog since when alsa is supported. Then start with: "knoppix alsa"
