Sorry if this is a re-post, I'm not sure the first one went through since I wasn't subscribed on the list.
I've installed Debian 2.2r2 on a cheap Powerspec 8250 computer which comes with a Soundblaster PCI 128 sound card (ES1371 chip). I can't get xmms to work, after adding my username to the audio group the mp3 file starts playing and stops immediately. After a little bit of investigation I came up with the following: The card seems detected (dmesg): es1371: version v0.22 time 19:13:40 Nov 18 2000 es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x5880 revision 0x03 es1371: found es1371 rev 3 at io 0xc800 irq 5 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 es1371: codec vendor (0x000000) revision 0 (0x00) es1371: codec features none es1371: stereo enhancement: no 3D stereo enhancement The modules are loaded (lsmod): Module Size Used by nls_cp437 3880 1 (autoclean) serial 19640 0 (autoclean) mousedev 3600 0 (unused) usbmouse 1624 0 (unused) usbcore 41804 0 [usbmouse] input 2688 0 [mousedev usbmouse] rtl8139 11144 1 sound 56364 0 (unused) soundlow 368 0 [sound] es1371 26544 0 soundcore 2440 7 [sound es1371] vfat 9408 0 (unused) ntfs 35012 1 nfs 43820 1 lockd 41720 1 [nfs] sunrpc 55452 1 [nfs lockd] unix 11336 227 (autoclean) but /dev/sndstat is empty: OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 Load type: Driver loaded as a module Kernel: Linux blue 2.2.18pre21 #1 Sat Nov 18 18:47:15 EST 2000 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Card config: Audio devices: Synth devices: Midi devices: Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: Any ideas why /dev/sndstat comes up empty, or any pointers?
