kldstat shows the following:
102 pci/snd_emu10k1
. . .
114 snd_pcm
so snd_pcm is already loaded.
I suspect I've been "Delled". The card was a preinstall at the Dell
factory, and after a lot of googling last night, I discovered that the
version of this card installed by Dell is modified. This link:
http://www.opensound.com/readme/README.EMU10K1X.html
has a little detail about the oss driver for the Dell modified SB
Live! card.
I downloaded the driver and tried to install it as described, but I
keep getting the following:
# ./oss-install
Checking for any previously installed sound drivers...
There is another sound driver loaded. Unload it and try again.
But when I try to kldunload the drivers, I get:
# kldunload snd_emu10k1.ko
kldunload: can't find file snd_emu10k1.ko: No such file or directory
This is turning into a real pain.
Anyone know if the Dimension 8300 onboard sound is easier to get
working? If I can't return it to Dell, I'll probably wind up putting
the card in another machine.
Thanks for the response.
Lou
