soundblaster live / redhat 7 woes

[dvdnut]

i previously had rh6.2 on this pc and i upgraded with everything to 7.

in 6.2 my soundcard worked fine, emu10k was the driver or something.

now in 7 the soundcard doesnt work at all.

looked in rpmfind for emu driver but it is only avail for suse.

can anyone help a suffering newbie here?

thanks

dvd.

Check out opensource.creative.com. Go down to the bottom of the page where it says Latest source snapshots. Downoad the emu10k1-20001125.tar.gz . Then gunzip and untar it and compile what you get. It worked for me on Mandrake 7.1 awhile back. They should also have some help on the page somewhere...

Hope that helps some.

i didnt know creative had a linux website.

Me neither for a long time, then I found out about it here, so I thought I would pass the torch, so to speak.

ah
some problems it seems, the sound module has already been compiled, and i cant compile another one according to the make output, error on the end of it and all that.

a re-install would be in order or not?

Bad news is I'm not sure. Good news is I'm going home soon. That means I'll have a little time to look into, maybe. Depends on the wife. In the meantime, look here (http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/soundcards/sblive.html). Let me know how it goes tomorrow.

well it failed, error during the make, i didnt note down the errors though

re installed linux on top of 6.2 and still no joy
will install 7 on its own to see how it goes

hey
finally at 3am this morning i installed rh7 fresh, not an update but installed as new.

NOW
rp3 crashes constantly, so i cant dial out.

and when i log out, it halts the system but doesnt power down

however if i use linuxconf it powers down

any suggestions?

My SbLive works. But only after I disabled the Plug'n'Play OS=yes option in the Bios.

RH7 will automatically detect my SBlive.

[dvdnut]

if that is the case then why did 6.2 pick it up during install?

sounds like a bug to me
