According to Creative Open Source site:

 

http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html

 

The Audigy LS -- The retail Audigy LS card is not based on the same chip as other Audigy boards, so the EMU10K1 driver available at SourceForge won't work with it.

 

However, a new patch is developed to incorporate Audigy LS support in ALSA, by James Courtier-Dutton:

Read the install.txt for procedure to compile and install.

I've tried installing the ALSA drivers by downloading the latest cvs files and installing as guided here. It appears to be compiling and installing properly. But when i go to insert the module it spits out this error message:

 

[root@mandy alsa-driver-1.0.5a]# modprobe snd-emu10k1

/lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o.gz: 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

modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.o.gz failed

modprobe: insmod snd-emu10k1 failed

 

Earlier on i installed the opensound drivers and they worked without an issue. But unfortunately the trial license only remains active for 20mins and I'm not paying 20US for drivers! Anyhow needless to say I'm yet to find a resolution to my current problem. Oh yeah before someone says it.. it doesn't appear as though any other sound modules are installed to conflict with.

 

running mandrake 9.2

kernel 2.4.22-10mdk

 

thanks guys.

After looking into the file "audigyls.diff.txt" located at the above address:

 

snd-emu10k1x-objs := emu10k1x.o

+snd-audigyls-objs := audigyls.o

 

obj-$(CONFIG_SND_EMU10K1X) += snd-emu10k1x.o

+obj-$(CONFIG_SND_AUDIGYLS) += snd-audigyls.o

 

Now I suspect the ALSA module for SB Audigy LS would be called snd-audigyls, not snd-emu10k1.

 

Try to modprobe snd-audigyls and see if there's any response from your soundcard (make sure your mixer is not muted).

 

Good luck. :D

Good news!

 

The Creative Open Source page has been updated.

 

http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html

 

Both

1. Dell Model SB Live! (snd-emu10k1x)

2. SB Audigy LS (snd-audigyls)

will be supported in ALSA 1.0.6.

 

ALSA 1.0.6 is now available at the ALSA official page:

http://www.alsa-project.org/

http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/16/1850201

 

Well I suppose the whole range of Creative soundcards will become Linux compatible pretty soon with updated ALSA drivers.

 

PS: Notice each of them has its own module name.

Do not use 'snd-emu10k1' module with these soundcard models.
