    Knoppix failed to initialize my sound card

    Right now I'm running Knoppix v. 3.3 on a Dell 4600 PC.

    The boot went well -- obviously the disc correctly identified and initialized my graphics and Ethernet cards -- but while it correctly identified my SoundBlaster Audigy 2 sound card on startup it failed to load the appropriate drivers for it. Hence I have no sound.

    I ran Sound Configuration Utility 0.57 and got this message:

    No driver available
    The module used for your card, emu10k1.0, is not currently in your module search path. Please verify that your kernel modules are correctly installed.

    Here's the output from lspci -v:

    02:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)
    Subsystem: Creative Labs: Unknown device 1003
    Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17
    I/O ports at cf00 [size=64]
    Capabilities: available only to root

    Also: while I have separate DVD-ROM and CD-RW drives, my desktop shows icons for two CD-ROM drives and only one -- the D: drive running Knoppix (actually the DVD-ROM drive) -- actually works. If I drop a music CD into the CD-RW drive and click its desktop icon I get this error message:

    Unable to run the command specified. The file or directory file:/mnt/cdrom1 does not exist.

    Any suggestions? I'm not a UNIX geek, so please be gentle.

    Thanks.

    Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same problem with my SB Audigy card. Thanks.

    sounds as though I had a similar problem: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1358
    solution for me was to turn off "PnP OS" in the BIOS
