Three Times The Curse 1552

in poked his little head through the XP firewall and said:

Fair enough.

Fair enought.

I can dig that, as I have a VIA-based mobo, and I decided pretty quickly to stick my old SB Live! card in it.

My apologies.

I only use Windows when I have to. It's too sluggish. Anyway, it does sound like Creative's new version of EMU10K1 is not supported properly:

Are you sure you loaded snd-emu10k1 and snd-emu10k1-synth?

My ALSA installation (Gentoo) loads a LOT of modules:

snd-pcm-oss 38532 0 snd-mixer-oss 13656 0 snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-midi 4032 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-emu10k1-synth 4892 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-emu10k1 768 plus 100 3 (autoclean) snd-emu10k1-synth snd-pcm 66176 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm-oss snd-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi 14816 0 (autoclean) snd-seq-midi snd-page-alloc 7156 0 (autoclean) snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-ac97-codec 49052 0 (autoclean) snd-emu10k1 snd-seq-oss 29792 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 3872 0 snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-midi-emul snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-timer 16036 0 snd-pcm snd-seq snd-seq-device 4420 0 snd-seq-midi snd-emu10k1-synth snd 36420 3 snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-midi

and a number of items in modules.conf:

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1

# OSS-Free portion - card #1

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

# Set this to the correct number of cards.

options snd cardslimit=1

Whew! I'd agree with flatty if he-she said this was too complex!
