As I understand the problem, CreativeOpensource developed a driver for the
EMU10k1X card. They gave the source to sourceforge. The source tarball is
set up to create a driver module emu10K1.o.
I got the tarball, built this module, and installed in the sound driver module
directry. I put the driver load line in the /etc/modules.config.
The driver doesn't act like it's loaded, but I don't get to see any errors.
root[2202] modprobe --showconfig | grep -i sound
path[sound]=/lib/modules/sound
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound emu10k1
root[2203] modprobe emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.4.20-6/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.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
There is nothing in dmesg or /etc/sysconfig/syslog. Where would I find out
about invalid IRQ parameters?
root[2210] ll /lib/modules/2.4.20-6/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/
total 88
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 84428 Jun 14 23:27 emu10k1.o
Can I get a size comparison from anyone out there that has built this
driver module? I saw "successful build" come up after the second make.
The other modules in sound have 644 permissions so the 664 should work. All
the modules are root owner and group including mine.
I'm not loading the soundcore driver - that came with the RH9.0 install.
Is it possible that this driver is conflicting with the one I built?
I'm not setting the sound path either, but the modprobe seems to be finding
the correct path to my homemade module.

I did look at Alsa drivers but didn't find the EMU10k1. On the subject of
Alsa, does the stock RH9.0 kernel comes with Alsa support?
I can see I'm going to know a lot more about all of this before my speakers
start to move. At least better audio trouble than video!
