Hello.
I'm attempting to run a MythTV frontend from the LiveCD (ie: NOT installed on a HD), and have everything working except the sound.
The card is detected during the bootup:
Code:
Soundcard : Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 driver=emu10k1
'lspci' shows:
Code:
01:08.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 05)
and the file /etc/modprobe.d/sound contains:
Code:
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
However, from there, it appears as though the card actually does not load. Running 'alsamixer' gives the error:
Code:
alsamixer: function snd_Ctl_open failed for default: No such device
and 'lsmod | grep snd' gives no results.
So I tried 'modprobe snd-emu10k1', but I get the error:
Code:
Setting up ALSA...^GInvalid card number.
Usage: amixer <options> [command]
Available options:
... etc, typical help screen
Usage: amixer <options> [command]
Available options:
... etc, typical help screen
This repeats a LOT of times. If I use the command 'modprobe snd-emu10k1 index=0', I get the exact same result.
After running either of the modprobe commands, the lsmod command shows that the modules are now installed:

However, after this, alsamixer still gives the same error. A quick check of /dev shows that there are no sound-related devices (dsp, mixer, etc...)
Any thoughts? Sound is the only thing holding me back...
Thanks
