Installation of a Sound Blaster Live with 4.x

 The first thing that you will need to do is make a customized kernenel. So, you will need to do:
  cd /sys/i386/conf 

 if u didn't already have a custom kernel yet now is the time to do it ..

 Once you are in the /sys/i386/conf, do the following command : Where MYKERNEL is, you can name the kernel anything you wish. You just need to be uniform with the name all the way through this process.

 cp GENERIC MYKERNEL

 now its time to edit the file, so do vi MYKERNEL , or whatever you named your kernel file.

Next Step :

 add your options ranging from options IPFIREWALL -> pcm <<< sound card

Saving the Kernel / Compiling :
 save your new kernel then type

  config MYKERNEL
  cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL 
  make depend 
  make 
  make install
 

 Once you have rebooted without any error messages, you are now ready to reboot the machine, so do a  shutdown -r now

Checking to see if Device is Found :

 Now that the machine is rebooted, login, and make sure that you are logged in as root. Now do the following :
  dmesg | grep pcm 

 * should output the line of the sound card upton bootup..

how do u know if it works ... no u don't install xmms to see.. just type

  /usr/sbin/mixer 
This should show you the settings for the card, but you may get an error like.
  no such device snd

If so, do : 
cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV snd0


 now rerun the mixer program..
