Test kernels w/ above patch available here: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel4/ Please give them a try to verify that everything works, and post the results...thanks!
Works. I've been running various recompiled RHEL4 kernel's with the attached patch since April without problems.
I guess it's not in U3?
No, it missed the U3 cut-off back in November. But, it should be in U4.
I have one of these cards and have been unable to get it working with the latest (as of yesterday) jwltest kernel 2.6.9-34.7.EL.jwltest.128smp on x86_64 in U2. linux> lspci | grep Multi 03:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value The card seems to be detected fine (eg lots of relevant stuff in /proc/asound) and the snd_emu10k1 module is loaded but there is no sound from the output. I've been all through alsamixer and kmix and unmuted everything and turned every volume up, but there is still no actual sound when issuing an aplay command. The aplay command seems to somplete normally, not hanging or anything. Is there anything apart from jwltest kernel thats needed to make this card work?
AFAIK, nothing special is required to make it work. Have you tried all the jacks (speaker, headphone, etc)? Is there sound on any of them? Please attach the output of running "sysreport"...thanks!
I've tried all the outputs, no sound anywhere. Can I email you the output rather than post to the list please? By the way, this is actually on Scientific Linux rather than genuine Redhat Enterprise.
You can mark an attachment as private, if that is helpful. If not, then email is fine with me. But, I don't know if RH's mail server will accept anything that big...
committed in stream U4 build 34.19. A test kernel with this patch is available from http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/ However, there is a *serious* slab corruption issue with this kernel, and thus it should not be released to customers under any circumstances. I'll update this bug when the kernel is stable again.
We've identified the corruption as specfic to x86-64 smp kernel builds 34.16 and 34.17. All other builds are safe for consumption.
