[Sheflug] Soundblaster Live! not working

[matt fairtlough <nospam [at] fairtlough.net>]

Odd one this.  One my old system, this works just fine.  But under
SuSE7.2, not a peep (nor are there any warning messages I can see).  So
it isn't the hardware itself or how it is connected up: I checked and
haven't altered anything since.

I gather that the driver to use is emu10k1.  So I tried (not really
knowing what modprobe does or what it can break):

root@pc-62-31-17-175-sh:/home/matt > modprobe emu10k1
/lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o:
init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/kernel/drivers/sound/emu10k1/emu10k1.o: insmod
emu10k1 failed
root@pc-62-31-17-175-sh:/home/matt > 

[perhaps you wondered about the odd hostname; I'm coming to that...]

So what is the problem?  Well, it could be that the sound card is
sharing an IRQ with something else (could it?).

>From /var/log/messages I extracted:

Jul  7 16:39:12 linux kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:07.2
Jul  7 16:39:12 linux kernel: PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:07.3
Jul  7 16:39:12 linux kernel: PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:0b.0

now how do I find out which devices these are, and if there is a clash,
I know I have to alter the BIOS settings but I've never understood how
to manage with apparently too few IRQ numbers.

any suggestions?

thanks,

Matt.
