CompileSBLive

Hello. I am using a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Sound Card. According to the list, http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/soundcards, the emu10k1 driver should enable sound for me. The removal of the non-free module nocked out mine sound to spite the fact that my card is shown on this list to be compatible with Free Software Drivers. When posting the question concerning this, I was informed that some sound drivers need to be compiled from source. I am still rather new to Free Software, and have only been using it about a year. As such, compiling from source is still a rather new concept for me. With help I was able to compile Wormux 0.8 Stable from source. I was waundering if someone could lay out a guide on where to find and how to compile the source code needed to get a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 running using only Free Software. Thank you very much for your time, and I hope you have a nice night.

I have downloaded the driver emu10k1-v020a.

I have tried ./configure and it did nothing.

I tried reading the INSTALL file and it told me to read the README file in the docs folder.

The best I can yet get it to type make twice. This is what it outputs.

Thank you for your time and help.

i might be wrong.

i think make cant found a directory in your kernel source. this could be 1)you dont have the kernel source, 2)you have but in a different version(check it with uname -a)

while we waiting for more knowledgeable members, try this:

sudo apt-get install ld10k1

ld10k1 is ALSA emu10k1/2 patch loader

When I type "apt-get install ld10k1" I get the fallowing.

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. saz@Insane_O_Flex:~$

When I type "uname -a" I get the fallowing.

saz@Insane_O_Flex:~$ uname -a Linux Insane_O_Flex 2.6.24-16-386 #1 Sun Apr 27 17:23:02 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux saz@Insane_O_Flex:~$

I went into Synaptic Package Manager and installed linux-source installed version 2.6.24.16.18 and linux-source-2.6.24 installed version 2.6.24-16.30gnewsense6. That was before I tried "make."

Thank you for your time and help.

I'm guessing what I got before means that ld10k is already the newest version, as it says, and that is why nothing was installed.

The "uname-a" command gave me 2.6.24-16-386 #1. While I have installed "linux-source" "installed version 2.6.24.16.18" and "linux-source-2.6.24" "installed version 2.6.24-16.30gnewsense6." It seems as though the match to the 2.6.24.16 part, then differ beyound that.

What should I do from here? Thank you very much for your time and help.
