Hi All, I am having problems getting my ESS audiodrive sound card working with the ALSA drivers. Here is all of the information I have ammassed during my probelms.
The kernel is compiled with soundcard support set to Y I've compiled and installed alsa-driver-0.9.0beta12 # cat /etc/modules.conf alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 3c509 alias usb-controller usb-uhci #pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx # options isapnp isapnp_reserve_irq=9,10,11,12,13 alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-es1688 # also tried with line below commented in #options snd-es1688 snd_port=0x220,0x388,0x330 snd_mpu_port=-1 snd_irq=5 snd_dma8=0 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Output from dmesg after boot isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: Card 'ESS Plug and Play AudioDrive' isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total Output from dmesg after attempt to insert module with modprobe snd (which appears to work ok by the way) modprobe snd-es1688 ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/isa/es1688/es1688_lib.c:113: ess_reset at 0x220: failed!!! snd_es1688_dsp_command: timeout (0xc0) snd_es1688_dsp_command: timeout (0xc0) snd_es1688_dsp_command: timeout (0xb1) snd_es1688_dsp_command: timeout (0xb2) snd_es1688_dsp_command: timeout (0xc0) snd_es1688_dsp_command: timeout (0xc0) ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/isa/es1688/es1688_lib.c:113: ess_reset at 0x220: failed!!!

The native stuff does identify the card as a soundblaster tho? Not too sure if this is significant? Can anyone give me any pointers as to where I am going wrong?
