Creative SB Audigy doesn't work in RedHat...help!

[emit]

Ok. My "Creative Labs SB Audigy" (PCI) doesn't work in my Red Hat 9.0. I don't know why...
(I'm from Sweden, therefore the bad English )

(maybe the part "Region 0: I/O ports at a800 [disabled] [size=32]" and the "disabled" marking, is causing all my trouble...I don't know, just a thought of mine)

I think i should mention that RedHat detects my sound card, but I can't play the "test sound" (I get an error message, and the nothing comes out).

Please, help! I might be a bit noob when it comes to Linux (and I'm Swedish), but I really need your help right now

[kriss]

what does "lsmod" gives you?

Good luck

If you run `modprobe emu10k1', what error does it return, and also, what errors do the kernel return after you do that (run `dmesg | tail -20' to find out)?

Sometimesit helps to put the sound card in a different PCI slot...., it strange i know

The 2.4.20 kernel should have no problems with the audigy card.
Otherwise change to the 2.4.22 or 2.4.24 kernel.

[Dolda2000]

I just checked the 2.4.20 source, and it seems it doesn't support the audigy. I also checked the 2.4.24 source, and it doesn't support the audigy either. 2.6.3 supports the audigy, though, but you might not want to migrate to the 2.6 kernel. Check http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1 and get their driver. It supports the audigy and is available for 2.4.

Ok. I've got 2.4.20-30.9 kernel. Where can I find the 2.4.22 or 2.2.24 kernel for Red Hat? (and maybe instructions to install it without problems...)

[Dolda2000]

Like I just said, no 2.4 kernel has drivers for the audigy. Check out that link I gave instead.
