Sorry I meant the alsa-modules-2.4.27-1-686-smp deb package installed. It is separate from the alsa-base package.robin wrote:

I've looked but can't find anything that definitely explains this, so...
I have a new Creative SoundBlaster Live! 24 bit sound card in my machine (dual Xeon box). The card works - heard it when booted WinXP. However, I can make no headway on getting sounds from it when I boot in to my Linux
partition. I have done a 'apt-get install alsa' but that doesn't seem to have changed anything. All solutions are most welcome! And here's what I
believe is sufficient information for people to answer this for me! TIA.

Hi
Try running alsaconf to set up the alsa sound modules.
Robin
That comes up with: No supported PnP or PCI card found.
I should also have said the console gets the message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src$ sudo alsaconf modinfo: snd: no module by that name found modinfo: snd: no module by that name found modinfo: snd: no module by that name found
e.g.
modprobe snd-ens1371
replacing, if necessary, snd-ens1371 with the correct module.
If there are any error messages post them here.
Also which kernel version are you running as there was an issue with some 2.6 kernels with OSS grabbing the sound card before Alsa.
Okay, it seems to be module emu10k1 that I require but I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src$ sudo modprobe emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-686-smp/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

Thanks for helping me through this! Michael
Do you have alsa-modules-2.4.27-1-686-smp installed?
It's been a long day (that's my excuse & it also means I can go shortly!) but
a) isn't "2.6 details" irrelevant to me since I'm using 2.4.27?
b) err, how do I find what modules I have installed? Do you mean using 'lsmod'? There's no alsa there
Michael
Run
dpkg -S alsa-mod*
alsa-modules-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7: /usr/share/doc/alsa-modules-2.4.25-1-multimedia-k7
alsa-modules-2.4.27-1-multimedia-k7: /usr/share/doc/alsa-modules-2.4.27-1-multimedia-k7
means I have 2 modules packages installed to match my installed kernels.
Do you use synaptic or aptitude or apt-get to load new packages? If apt-get then
apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.27-1-686-smp
should do the biz. Either it will install the package or say it is already installed.
Can we carry on tomorrow as the matchsticks propping up my eyelids are starting to split:)
Robin
