Can someone please help me with the installation of the alsa drivers (version 5.9) with my new sound card, an "sblive" device? I compiled the alsa-drivers, alsa-lib, and alsa-utils after configuring with the options "--with-isapnp=yes" and "--with-sb16" (there was no choice show;n for 'sblive' in the list of cards). The three packages compiled and installed as modules okay. I next plugged in my old lines from the previous setup (version 4.1 of also with the awe-64 card) together witrh the 'modprobe' lines that loaded them. My bootup messages tell me that no sb16 cards can be found and the modules fail to load properly. If this is all too confusing, I apologize - but I am all too confused myself. Questions: Is 'sb16' the right choice for compiling the alsa drivers for an sblive card? If not, then what is? Next, are there a different set of aliases needed for the 5.9 version of alsa? If so, can someone please send them to me? Any other suggestions are most welcome... Chuck.
