A friend has a new PC (Athlon 900MHz) with a motherboard with onboard "SoundBlaster PCI128" (or should I call it Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI...)
Relevant Output of lspci: $ /sbin/lspci | grep 5880 ; /sbin/lspci -n | grep 5880 00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 03) 00:0e.0 Class 0401: 1274:5880 (rev 03) The odd thing is, the es1371 module loads without any apparent problems (Output of dmesg: es1371: version v0.27 time 17:21:08 May 3 2001 es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x5880 revision 0x03 PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:0e.0 es1371: found es1371 rev 3 at io 0xd000 irq 10 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 ac97_codec: AC97 codec, id: 0x0000:0x0000 (Unknown) ) and the mixer appears to work (I used gom -it), but when I try to play something (an mp3 with mpg123, a wav or .au with sox's "play", esd's test by simply running "esd"), the relevant program "freezes" and no sound comes out. (By "freezes" I mean it doesn't have any progress - it is not the case that they are playing but the sound is muted.) A search on google didn't turn anything up (other than that 1274:5880 works with the es1371 module...) - maybe I need to refine my searching techniques though... ;) Any ideas? Oh, and I'm using kernel 2.4.2.. I'm gonna try alsa now. Thanks, Hugo van der Merwe ps.
