| 550723 | 2007-05-17 20:11:00 | What distro's, and which one works? | Myth (110) | ||
| 550724 | 2007-05-17 20:55:00 | Xandros 4 works and PCLinux does not Also tried Ubuntu and it does not work either. | kjaada (253) | ||
| 550725 | 2007-05-18 19:40:00 | So you want Linux to use the creative card only? or both? Have you checked in the kernel to make sure alsa is set properly in both distros (you will probably have to download kernel sources and compile). There should be set up guides in each distros distro-specific forum online. Also check the drivers are enabled in the kernel for the sound cards |

| 550726 | 2007-05-19 00:00:00 | Is the soundblaster a PCI or ISA version? If ISA, you'll have a hell of a time getting it to work... Generally setting up ALSA doesn't require recompiling your kernel, just make sure you have the right devices selected and, as Myth says, the correct drivers loaded in the kernel. Your distro probably provides them as modules rather than compiled directly into the kernel, and they should normally load automatically at boot-time. |
