Description Eric Bosch 2008-01-14 04:01:48 UTC

I have a Creative Audigy on my AMD64 machine, in which I am trying to mount my iPod after plugging into the Firewire port on the LiveDrive (front panel) port.  This used to work, however I believe there was an emu10k1 option that needed to be turned on/configured.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Plug ipod into Firewire port on Audigy 2 LiveDrive panel
2.unable to mount /dev/sdc2 - device does not exist
3.

Actual Results:  
/dev/sdc does not appear.  If I connect to TI firewire port (on MB), it works fine. I suspect I have left something out of /etc/modules.d/alsa, but I've searched and cannot find it.

Expected Results:  
Expect sdc to be created as it is when connected to TI controller.

Sorry, a small error in my information.  The Audigy device shown below is the on-card ieee1394 device, which works.  How do you enable the LiveDrive port?

The livedrive port is a passthrough port. Please make sure that you have connected the cabling correctly. The firewire cable from PCI card to bay should be in AD_LINK2 on the bay side, *not* Firewire.

Comment 3 Stefan Richter 2008-01-21 07:27:21 UTC

The FireWire functionality of Audigy cards is unrelated to ALSA.
