Mandrak 9.1 + Audigy 2 problem solved!!!

[sephtis]

Well, Linux is running for a week now. AND I FINALLY MADE MY AUDIGY 2 WORK under MANDRAKE 9.1!!!

First of I tried EVERYTHING told EVERYWHERE with that ALSA system.

Well, *sigh* one time I had no errors at all, so it simply had to work, which it did not.

So I found a link:

http://www.opensound.com/oss.html

Well first time he found some installed sound stuff. Right.

So I totally erased every link in both modules:

/etc/modules
/etc/modules.conf

so they were almost empty.

Then, I went to my emu10k1 directory and typed:

make clean

I think, that move REmoved every link to my current sound driver.

And then followed the instruction on this site:

http://www.opensound.com/download.cgi

(of course click on the install instructions)

Just unpack that Tar.gz file in some directory.

Lets say it is a directory called tmp.

then do this:

cd /tmp

chmod +x oss-install

./oss-install

The ./oss-install does the trick.

When that one is running, everything should be fine. Well here it was...

When it says, that there are still drivers running, or some other error, make sure that you have removed ALL possible links to some sound driver.

Then repeat the installation procedure.

This was for me the MOST easy job to get a Audigy 2 running under Mandrake 9.1

Allright, I'm a newbie!! And don' t know ANYthing about linux (yet) so everyone else can handle the job...

Good luck, and thanks for putting me on the right track :D

I guess you meant this to be a reply to your original post on Audigy2, but since you've kept it separate, I'll just move this along to the 'How I did it' forum for others to benefit from.

Thank-you and well done.
