Hello All! I have a newly installed Debian 2.2r0 (yes, I know I should upgrade, but that's what was on the cd...) system that I'm trying to get my sound card (SoundBlaster PCI 128) working on.
So far, I have downloaded the latest 2.2 kernel (2.2.19) and compiled in support for the card (CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371=y), with no success. After booting the newly compiled kernel, the soundcard is recognized (see dmesg output fragment below), but it is unusable, ie. 'cat /dev/sndstat' returns: No such device. I realize this is probably not a Debian specific question, but as I have read the Sound-HOWTO about 13 times already, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask here... I am enclosing the appropriate parts of /proc/pci and dmesg output to help troubleshooting. Thanks in advance for your help, Joe Nahmias [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS - Please cc me on all replies as I don't subscribe to this list. PPS - I dual boot with Win 98SE on this machine, and sound is happy there. ================== Start /proc/pci excerpt Bus 0, device 13, function 0: Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 (rev 7).
