Hello list, It seems that I am unable to load the alsa module for my sound card (sound blaster live). Typing 'modprobe snd-emu10k1' gives the following results. /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-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 /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o: insmod snd-emu10k1 failed drl root # Three instances of the following message from dmesg output are as follows: PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 01:09.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:1f.3 EMU10K1/Audigy soundcard not found or device busy PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 01:09.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:1f.3 EMU10K1/Audigy soundcard not found or device busy PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 01:09.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 00:1f.3 EMU10K1/Audigy soundcard not found or device busy 'lspci -v' shows the following information for 00:1f.3 and 01:9.0 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801AA SMBus (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corp. 82801AA SMBus Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10 I/O ports at efa0 [size=16] 01:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!
