EMU10K1_Audigy: probe of 0000:00:0a.0 failed with error -5 -> ALSA version 1.0.23 is NOT loading driver for Creative Labs SB Audigy [1102:0004] (rev 03) in Ubuntu 10.04

Asked by iain graham

Losing the will to live with this thing now. Its a fresh install of Lucid 10.04. For some reason it can see my SB Audigy on the PCI bus but wont install the card and drivers!?!?!? Pretty much new at this but I have scoured google for fixes and commands, tried them and nothing seems to work. I have also upgraded ALSA to the latest version.
