SB0240 10k2 Sound Blaster Audigy2

[ezzetabi]

I installed Fedora core 4 few days ago, and I am already loving Linux.... :)

Yet, I can't manage to make my Audigy2 to sound. It works in Windows XP, so I think it not an hardware problem.

Seeking on the Internet I found this site
http://files.printf.dk/guides/audigy2.htm

but I can't making the drivers. I am missing the package with the full kernel source.
I checked
yum list | less
but I do not understand what is the right one... Can anyone help?

Thanks already.

Go to here http://www.alsa-project.org/ and you will find the most recent alsa drivers from source. If you click on the "Soundcards" choice at the top, you can find your card and by clicking on it you will get detailed instructions. Now you will have built the drivers.

You still must edit alsa to open the proper devices as they come muted for some reason.

From terminal, root user, "alsamixer" will open the mixer for adjustments. You can unmute by pressing the "M" key and adjust volumes using the up and down arros keys. Exit by pressing "esc" and then after confirming that it works, save the settings by this command from root also: alsactl store.

Goodluck,
Jeff

Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel

Thanks for the advice, but I already tried... I tried again and this is the ./configure last lines of output.

I have no idea where to get the missing pack... :(

Ezzetabi,

Take a look a this thread which will help you install kernel source which you need to compile drivers from source.

The problem solved by itself with the
yum -y update
I did yesterday....

Yet, thanks a lot for the link. It may need it in the future.
:D
