When I try to modprobe the snd-emu10k1 driver I get alot of errors and it fails to load. Here's a paste from my console: xordan linux # modprobe snd-emu10k1 WARNING: Error inserting snd_hwdep (/lib/modules/2.6.11-cko5/alsa-driver/acore/snd-hwdep.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_timer (/lib/modules/2.6.11-cko5/alsa-driver/acore/snd-timer.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_pcm (/lib/modules/2.6.11-cko5/alsa-driver/acore/snd-pcm.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_ac97_codec (/lib/modules/2.6.11-cko5/alsa-driver/pci/ac97/snd-ac97-codec.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_seq_device (/lib/modules/2.6.11-cko5/alsa-driver/acore/seq/snd-seq-device.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) WARNING: Error inserting snd_rawmidi (/lib/modules/2.6.11-cko5/alsa-driver/acore/snd-rawmidi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) FATAL: Error inserting snd_emu10k1 (/lib/modules/2.6.11-cko5/alsa-driver/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) I can't paste all my dmesg as it goes out of the console, but here's a sample of what's there: snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages_for_all snd_emu10k1: disagrees about version of symbol snd_card_proc_new snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_card_proc_new snd_emu10k1: disagrees about version of symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_minmax snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_minmax snd_emu10k1: disagrees about version of symbol snd_timer_interrupt snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_timer_interrupt snd_emu10k1: disagrees about version of symbol snd_ac97_mixer snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_ac97_mixer snd_emu10k1: disagrees about version of symbol snd_ctl_remove snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_ctl_remove snd_emu10k1: disagrees about version of symbol snd_ac97_bus snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_ac97_bus snd_emu10k1: disagrees about version of symbol snd_ctl_find_id snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_ctl_find_id snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_verbose_printk snd_emu10k1: disagrees about version of symbol snd_ctl_new1 snd_emu10k1: Unknown symbol snd_ctl_new1 snd_emu10k1: disagrees about version of symbol snd_ctl_remove_id Everything is up to date as of now, I'm using the latest kernel (2.6.11). I've got two soundcards, the first is a Audigy 2 ZS, the second is an onboard nforce 3, not sure of the exact model. I'm trying to get the Audigy working. I've tried the in-kernel drivers but they cause my PC to crash if I play a sound. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge alsa-driver 2. modprobe snd-emu10k1 3.
Ok, got it working. I had to use coldplug though. If I added the modules to my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file they would fail, seems that not all the dependancies are loaded as well.
You're using an unsupported kernel. Please don't file such bugs, unless you can reproduce the problem with a supported one. -> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml#doc_chap3
