Re: [Sheflug] Soundblaster Live! not working

Matt.

I had a similar problem. Here is the message I sent to SuSE support together 
with their reply, just in case it is of any help.

You find the following article about that in our support
database http://sdb.suse.de/en/ with the keyword

"Can't locate module sound-slot-1".

Symptom:

   You've got following message in the xconsole window:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0

  Cause:

   Per default KDE 2.0 is testing the system for two sound
   cards. Because you've just one card (sound-slot-0)
   installed, the message is appearing that there won't be
   found a second soundcard and the modul which belongs to,
   couldn't be loaded.

  Solution:

   You can ignore the message, because it is not an error
   message or you can change this in the KDE 2.0 control-center
   under:
Sound ->
Mixer

   Here you'll find the Option "Maximum count of tested devices
   per mixer" which is on the value "2". Change the value to
   "1" and confirm with "OK". At the next KDE-Start the message
   won't occur anymore.

The message with the oss-module means not that OSS is used.
This are alsa modules and they were needed to start the kmixer.




Cheers

Keith
