hi keith, i have a GA-7ZXR, also with onboard sound. to let the sound work i have compiled the kernel (2.4.13) with the following options:
CONFIG_SOUND=y CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371=m ...the command lsmod gives me the following output: wind:/usr/src/linux# lsmod Module Size Used by NVdriver 657600 34 (autoclean) usb-uhci 20932 0 (unused) usbcore 50784 1 [usb-uhci] es1371 26752 0 ac97_codec 9376 0 [es1371] ...and /etc/modules contains: rtl8139 es1371 usb-uhci ...and the simple test # cat /boot/vmlinuz >/dev/dsp makes a horrible noise ;-) but i dunno if it works on stable, running sid since i installed the box here... hope it helps! -felix On Sat, Nov 10, 2001 at 05:46:56PM +0000, Keith O'Connell wrote: > Hi, > > I am now stuck.
