Broken EMU10K1 Driver in 2.4.8+

Broken EMU10K1 Driver in 2.4.8+

[Adam Watson]

I noticed this around 2.4.8 but thought it to be just a glitch or that my 
sound card had crapped out on me.  So I tested SBLive card under Windows and 
it worked without a hitch.

My problem:

Kernel 2.4.12 recognizes the card but does not set the devices.  Following 
the Sound-HOWTO, I ran every test that it requested.  It passed all except 
when I would cat /dev/sndstat.

Output:

cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device

All device files are present and showing the right permissions. And the 
kernel recognizes the card at every boot up?  Has something changed recently 
that I need to reconfigure in my kernel?

Please help,
Adam W.

Hello!

AFAIK, this is correct because the sndstat device was supposed to support ISA 
cards. It doesn'T exist in 2.4.X kernels any more (at least not for PCI 
devices)

May be you have to set the mixer! I'm using a SB Live! Player 5.1 without any 
problems once the mixer volumes are set.

I tried but no luck.  All my mixer settings are all the way up.  Is there 
another way to set them other than in X?
