SB Live! and Mandrake 8.0

[MacDaddy]

Hi,

I am trying to install my SB Live card and I can't seem to compile the modules so I can install them. Whenever I type "make" in the command line, it simply says the command doesn't exist. I checked my /bin directory, and sure enough, the make command isn't in there. Maybe the command is different in this version?

In addition to this, I am trying to disable my current soundcard (onboard Crystal Fusion POS ;). If anybody could give me any tips on disabling my Crystal fusion card, any help would be most appreciated.

I'm gonna go nuts if I can't hear the sound from the SB Live!!!!!! :eek:

Thanks,
Gordon

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I am using Mandrake 8.0. Sorry.

I don't use Mandrake anymore, but try going to the Mandrake Control Center and select hardware from the menu. I know you can try to load up your drivers from there.

Hey man!
to uninstall your current sound card type:
cat /proc/modules
at the command, this shows you all mods loaded at the moment, find your /etc/modules.conf file, (should be there) then edit out the corresponding line for your sound card!
a quick reboot and it will be out of there if you do a "cat /proc/modules" again, if you dont wanna reboot type
modprobe xxxx

where xxxx is the name of your sound chip when you cat /proc/modules!

should work anyway!

im also having trouble with my sblive!, i just installed the alsa drivers but cant work out which is the midi channel for the card! (the only channel i really want to use!!!!!!)

I had to get make off of my M8 installation disk, it wasn't installed by default.
