swimmy Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Background: I'm running Mdk 10.1 community edition. When I ran Mdk 9.8 professional, the sound card worked but for some reason it won't work now. I have a cerative soundblaster live! soundcard.. I have the snd-emu10k1 driver installed for it to be configured. but it won't seem to allow any sound period. I ran modprobe emu10k1 and then dmesg and recvied this msg... Creative EMU10K1 PCI Audio Driver, version 0.20a, 16:41:15 Sep 8 2004 emu10k1: IRQ in use emu10k1: probe of 0000:00:08.0 failed with error -16 the driver has been installed fine, but I don't know what to do to fix it. I have checked to see if the sound is muted by running aumix. and the sound is allowed to run on level 3. I tried to look around on this forum for some help, but I'm not having much luck finding someone with similar problems. Any help is greately appreciated. Thank you for your coutesies and help with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 IRQ conflict problem by the looks of it. noapic may help - edit lilo.conf and add noapic as a kernel parameter, run lilo, reboot. Play around with the acpi settings too, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmy Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Thank you for the quick reply. I will be away for a few days without access to my computer. So I will have to let you know how it works upon my return. On a side note. If it's an IRQ problem, is there a method to mannually assign it a different, IRQ? If so is there a method to list all the used and unused #s? Thanks for any answers, I'll see you in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Not AFAIK - IRQ assignment is all hidden from the user. BTW, one thing I forgot to mention - it's also a good idea to check the BIOS. If "PnP OS" is set to on, change it to off. See if there's any other settings that look relevant.

swimmy Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 (edited) The added boot parameter of 'noapic' did the trick, now I have sound running. I just can't get XMMS to play any mp3s Edited January 23, 2005 by swimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
