I have been attempting to get ALSA to work with my soundcard (Creative Labs SB16-PCI, which maps to the ens1371 driver). My distro is Debian Woody, with the 2.4.18 kernel (sound support built in as opposed to as a module). Since the Debian packages didn't work, I'm trying an install from source, following the instructions from...
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=ens1371 ...for installation of the ens1371 driver, making the appropriate changes (the intructions are for the fm801 driver). Yesterday evening I got as far as being able to "./configure;make;make install" from the source directories, and modprobe snd-ens1371, etc. I also was able to run alsamixer and unmute everything. Never was able to get any sound. Oh, I was able to modify modules.conf to... alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371 optins snd-ens1371 snd_enable_midi=1 Then I had to leave. This morning, still no sound, but... modprobe snd-ens1371 ...produced error messages: /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1371.o: invalid parameter parm_snd_enable_midi /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1371.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1371.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1371.o: insmod snd-ens1371 failed In addition, looking at dmesg, I see nothing on ALSA as well as.. isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: No Plug & Play device found Any ideas where to go from here? I have a dual boot system, and I get sound out of Win98 with no apparent problem. It's rather sad that Windows works and The Best doesn't. :-( (No doubt it's operator error.) Thanks in advance for any ideas where to go from here. James | In faith and in science, James K.
