Help needed..Sound Blaster Live not detected on FEDORA..

3 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/help-needed-sound-blaster-live-not-detected-on-fedora.24272/

Hi,,
well I am just a newbie to Linux world.. I have installed Fedora Core 4 on my machine. Everything went fine (including that strange 'Kernel panic' msg in installation). The only problem is that I am not able to find driver for my sound-card. My sound-card is Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24 Bit. I don't know where to look for the drivers and then how to install them.
Please help...
Thanks...

Welcome to Open Source and Linux,
Friend,post this in Open Source Section.
There is a same question running..

And just forget about getting installshield based .exe drivers U can click next..next to install in GNU/Linux.In Linux ALSA takes care of all audio drivers.Read the thread link posted for More help.And Linux is a Operating System which is Open-Source.[/i]

I suppose you have to recompile the kernel, to add support for the card. I think it wud be under

Code:

 [DEVICE DRIVERS] --> [SOUND] --> [ALSA] --> [PCI] --> [*] Support for creative soundblaster pci cards. And then recompile the kernel. 
}

But doesn't fedora include generic device detection? May be it's compiled as modules. Head over to This [url=*www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/] Alsa drivers page [/url] And select Creative labs. See the module section for the module you wud have to use for your card. [url=*www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Creative_Labs#matrix] Creative [/url] Here see the module name in driver and docs. Note it down and issue
# modprobe <module>
Post if you get any errors.
}
