help with alsa/sblive

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Thanks for the tips, Jacob. I had figured that out about the isa vs. pci
stuff, but will try the rest of your suggestions and see what happens. Are
the opensource.creative.com drivers a part of the Linux kernel, or do I
get them from the creative URL?

Chuck.

Simply let it compile all alsa drivers for all cards. After you do a make install of these drivers, be sure to run ./snddevices. Now, load the snd-card-emu10k1 and OSS emulation modules.
