SB audigy2 issues

(1/3) > >>

hnugz:
I've been looking around a lot trying to figure out how to get my audigy2 card to work with linux.  I ran the sndconfig and it gave me the error "The module used for your card, emu10k1.o, is not currently in your module search path."

I did some more reading and I'm getting a bit confused.  Apparently I am supposed to install ALSA in order to get this card to work, but after looking at the documentation the SB Audigy2 card is not listed at all, although there are cards listed there that are very similar.  Anyone have any suggestions for getting this to work?

piratePenguin:
Install ALSA and then run 'alsaconf' to setup the card.
What distro do you use?

KernelPanic:
Can you tell us which distro you are using?

hnugz:
i am using knoppix which apparently doesnt have it installed already.  im sure ill have questions with the install because this is all new to me and i dont understand everything.  ill play around with it as soon as i get home.

hnugz:
So I think one of my main problems is that I'm not understanding what is going on with installing files.  I was looking at an install guide for alsa and first it talks about recompiling the kernel?  Do I have to do this?  Or do I just download and install alsa?  If I do have to do this, why?  What exactly am I doing?

Second, one of the steps is to do "apt-get install alsa-source alsa-base alsa-utils libasound2."  Does this assume that I already have alsa downloaded somewhere on my machine?  It says it can't find these packages.  Thanks for the help.

Also, if there are any links you can give me to where I can find out more about installing files that would be great.  I think I am jumping too far ahead of myself with this kinda thing.
