I have an almost new Debian installation (Woody) that is giving me a great deal of grief getting sound configured.
I actually have two soundcards in my machine to chose from. I have a Creative CT4750 PCI sound card that had worked in this hardware configuration under Red Hat. I also have the on-board sound from my ECS k7s5a motherboard that is supposed to support the ac97 codec. When I did the install I did not have the Creative card in and Debian failed to negotiate the on-board sound. I then disabled the on-board sound in the bios and installed the Creative Card. I tried to modprobe sb.o to et the module for this card to work (i'm assuming that that was the right module) but that failed with the message: ray:~# modprobe sb Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.20-udma100-ext3/modules.dep /lib/modules/2.2.20-udma100-ext3/misc/sb.o: init_module: Device or resource busyHint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.2.20-udma100-ext3/misc/sb.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.20-udma100-ext3/misc/sb.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.20-udma100-ext3/misc/sb.o: insmod sb failed I did the same thing with the ac97_codec.o (again, assuming that is the right module for my on-board sound) and that seemed to work. However, after I re-enabled the onboard sound in my bios, my pc hung up halfway through booting linux. On a brevious installation of Red Hat with the exact same hardware, I was able to get the sound configured with Sndconfig. I even went out and got the sndconfig package from Debian, but it wouldn't recognize my card. Help! Thanks, Ray Raddatz
