first of all, i am a noob......

i am trying to install the emu10k1 drivers for my audigy card, but after i do install it (w/o any errors), i get this when i try modprobe.

[root@bluedoom sbin]# modprobe emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.4.18-5/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
/lib/modules/2.4.18-5/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-5/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-5/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod emu10k1 failed
[root@bluedoom sbin]#

what's going on here? i've tried starting over and reinstalling them, and that goes smoothly. until i modprobe it. any suggestions? this is the fourth forum i've posted this in, and nobody seems to have a clue. can't find anything about this on the net. PLEASE HELP!!!!

thanks in advance

hello,
what ahve ya got in the file /etc/modules.conf for sound ?

also, have you run depmod -a?

[fragged one]

here's what's in my modules.conf:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias eth1 tulip
alias sound emu10k1
alias sound-service-0-0 sound
alias sound-slot-0 sound
alias eth0 tulip

i wasn't sure if you wanted me to run just depmo -a, or depmod -a emu10k1. so i ran both, here's what i get. with the modprobe at the bottom.

[root@bluedoom sbin]# depmod -a emu10k1
depmod: Can't open /lib/modules/emu10k1/modules.dep for writing
[root@bluedoom sbin]# depmod -a
[root@bluedoom sbin]# modprobe emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.4.18-5/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: init_module: No such device

okaeedoeky, just a depmod -a

next question - do you have the kernel source for kernel 2.4.18-5 installed ? if not please install it.

BTW - are you using the drivers from sourceforge? 0.19a ?

the modules.conf file looks good per this doc:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/displa...group_id=44773

[fragged one]

yes, i am using 2.4.18-5

no, i'm using version .18-2

i couldn't figure out how to tar a tar.bz2 file

[pbharris]

sure!

tar -jxf filename.tar.bz2

when you ran up2date did you include kernel source to be updated? i am assuming this is how you upgraded the kernel.

[fragged one]

yes, i included all except the kernel.debug

[pbharris]

do you get a directory that is named audigy-emu10k1 ?

[fragged one]

i have this directory:

usr/src/linux-2.4/drivers/sound/emu10k1

i'm assuming that's where you wanted me to look. i didn't find one that is named "audigy-emu10k1".

[pbharris]

hello,
nope! when you do the tar -zxf emu10k1-v0.18.tar.bz2 or whatever driver you used is an audigy-emu10k1 directory, ia ask because it is in the docs...
