Hi. I used to use emu10k1 sound driver for my Red Hat Linux 7.2 box. I tried to upgrade it to today's newer drivers from 12/2001 drivers set (couldn't use Red Hat's emu10k1 because it kept locking up my computer so I upgraded to 12/2001 emu10k1 drivers) I used for months. However, make install failed and I broke the audio driver. I should have not upgraded when it was fine, huh (was hoping some improvements ;))? :P
I no longer have the old package to downgrade. Right now, I am audioless in Linux so I can't listen to MP3s, play games (e.g., Q3A and RTCW), watch DVDs/video clip/filess, etc. I am about to give up with emu10k1 because I am not getting anywhere in getting it fixed and no one seems to know how to fix my problem. You can read my thread: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=575571&group_id=44773&atid=440823 if you are interested. Someone told me that I should try ALSA sound driver. Is this a good move for my situation? If so, then what's the proper way to remove emu10k1 and install ALSA? I did not see a Howto guide nor RPM files. Please note that I am a Linux newbie. I am using Red Hat Linux 7.2 with the default Kernel. Here's uname -a: Linux ANTux-P3 2.4.7-10 #1 Thu Sep 6 17:27:27 EDT 2001 i686 unknown. I am also using a SB Live Platinum (4.1) without its LiveDrive and Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 (sound is important ;)). I assume ALSA has controls for bass and treble like emu10k1 (I think this was another reason why I upgraded from the one from Red Hat in 12/2001). Thank you in advance. :) -- "Now I have you where I want you... where is my jar of Bull ants?" --unknown -- /\___/\ Phillip Pi (Ant) / /\ /\ \ E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |o o| | \ _ / The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.ma.cx ( ) ICQ UIN: 2223658 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Stuff, things, and much much more. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
