Very Computer

I've downloaded what I believe to be the correct drivers from Creative's web
site.  After performing the "make" I followed the directions exactly as
listed in the README.  However, on the last step, when I load the driver, I
get this message:

No dependency information for module
"/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/emu10k1.o".

I can't seem to get past this.  What am I doing wrong?

BTW...RH6.1 if it matters.

What are you doing? You didn't say.

This looks like the result of using modprobe.  Man modprobe, then run
depmod -a to set up the dependency info.  Look at the Modules HOWTO
too.  It'll tell you what you are doing.

If it were me sitting there I'd use insmod to load the driver, instead
of modprobe, and recursively use insmod to load whatever it depended on
if it complained. As I remember, the emu10k1 module is a bit of a
nuisance because it _exports_ symbols that other drivers need, thus
messing up depmod results. You won't notice that, however, since you
probably only have one sound card.

about the soundblaster live driver, you have to notice that it won't work on
ect. Red Hat 6.1, which is using a kernel that is newer than 2.2 (correct me
if i am wrong)
that's what the readme thats comes along with the driver,sayes anyway...

hope i could be of any help

I can report that I'm using the SB live driver with RH 6.1.  It works
just fine.  I forced it to load, ignoring version incompatibility (in
spite of their warnings not to).  No problems.

Before you buy.

Both the "emu10k1" driver and the OSS driver (I'm willing to pay to
get this card working!) have the same problem ... analog passthru
(playing CD, gating the microphone to the speakers) works, but the WAV
device just gives me a high pitched hum (different pitch depending on
the sound file, and length seems appropriate for the sound file).

I've ruled out failure of the card hardware (win98 talks to it fine)
and the configuration between win98 and linux is consistant (x1800,
irq5).

I DL'd the eval OSS driver assuming it would be better, but if the
only remaining problem is the same between emu10k1 and oss, I'll take
the cheaper alternative. Any ideas on what might be going on here? Or
should I get OSS into the loop? I'd like to use the "emu10k1" driver
if possible, since I already have it's source at hand.

can you tell me where i can download the linux driver for SBlive.

thanks
