I've got a es1371 as well. I've spent days trying to get it working with the OSS drives that come with 2.4.18. Absolutely no joy. I don't think it's because I'm an idiot. I got my ISA PnP SoundBlaster 16 working OK at home very quickly (although I can't get it to play .wav files through gnome or KDE's sound daemons, it can play and record .au files, play CD's and work with CivCTP)
Far be it from me to say - but Debian's sound configuration leaves a lot to be desired. I don't know how many hours I've spent trying to work out what devices, aliases, modutils entries permissions I need to use to get the thing going. I'd love help to sort this all out, and then I'll write a good howto specifically for Debian users. Sorry I'm no help. -----Original Message----- From: Seneca Cunningham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 21 November 2002 9:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sound card problem On Wed, Nov 20, 2002 at 08:11:57PM +0600, chanka perera wrote: > In my Debian woody box sound card is not working I'm having creative > vibra 128 card #sndconfig says Sound module not found you don't seems > to be running a kernel with modular sound enable (soundcore.o was not > found) and it's supported with Linux 2.2 but It's impossible because > it's woody ;) A quick google shows that at least one person uses es1371 as the driver for that card. Try "modprobe es1371", and if that doesn't work, check the kernel's config to see if sound is modular. > In KDE it gives an error at startup Error while initializing sound > drivers Device /dev/dsp can't be open (permision denied) even in root > I changed #chmod 777 /dev/dsp after that it says (can't open no such > device) That makes sense if the hardware is not configured (although to stop the permissions problem, you should have just added yourself to group audio). > In /dev there are 3 dsp files it might be the problem (its not > selected the correct dsp file) but what the config file for sound > cards? Probably not the problem, my system (sound working) has them. They represent different devices (according to devices.txt.gz, digital audio with dsp being the first soundcard, dsp1, second). -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
