Hi, Looks like you have a PCI sound card (Ensoniq, now owned by Creative Labs). I have one of these cards at work myself.
This is what I did to get it to work (Under kernel 2.2.0) Kernel Compile options: <M> Ensoniq AudioPCI (ES1370) <M> Creative Ensoniq Aidio PCI (ES 1371) I selected both since I wasn't sure. On reading kernel Documentation/sound/es137?, I know I have ES1370 %lspci -n 00:0d.0 Class 0401: 1274:5000 ## Indicates ES1370 Load module as usual (insmod -s -v es1370). Thats it! I could do cat something.au > /dev/dsp or play CD. But not is all well though. My sound volume is very low. Couldn't figure out why? Any ideas are welcome. I have Debian 2.0. Hope this helps, Bye, nram [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-----------------------------------------------------+ |Linux Now | Ramesh Natarajan | |http://www.kernel.org | http://nram.virtualAve.net | +-----------------------------------------------------+ In a world without fences, who needs Gates? _______________________________________________________ It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself. -- Emerson I'm trying to get my sound card to work.. Here is some info from dmesg.. [...] pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured Sound initialization started Sound initialization complete PIIX3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39 [...] If it was found shouldn't it say something there? === This probably indicates that you have sound compiled as module and not into the kernel. === /proc/pci says: [...] Bus 0, device 11, function 0: Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq AudioPCI (rev 1). Slow devsel. IRQ 10. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=12.Max Lat=128. I/O at 0x6000 [0x6001]. Ensoniq?? But the IRQ is correct. I read in the Sound-HOWTO and in the kernel docs and in the later it said that all should have the device files there but I don't have /dev/sndstat on my newly installed debian-unstable. === I think /dev/sndstat works for only ISA cards (like Soundblaster; I have AWE64 at home) === In the kernel (2.2.0-pre8) config I have selected 100% Sound Blaster, I/O base=220, IRQ=10, DMA=1, 16-bit DMA=5, MPU401 IO base=330 === Get 2.2.0. Its beautiful! === Any hints on how to get the card to work?? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
