Thanks. But I don't fully understand this -- what should I put into e.g. /etc/modutils/alsa ? I tried it with
# ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-es18xx # only the next line is written by myself: options snd-cmipci id="first" port=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss Then modprobe snd-es18xx results in pnp: Device 01:01.00 activated. pnp: Device 01:01.01 activated. reset at 0x220 failed!!! es18xx: [0x220] ESS chip not found pnp: Device 01:01.00 disabled. pnp: Device 01:01.01 disabled. ESS AudioDrive ES18xx soundcard not found or device busy FATAL: Error inserting snd_es18xx (/lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/sound/isa/sn d-es18xx.ko): No such device FATAL: Error running install command for snd_es18xx Any further help is appreciated Martin -- "Feel free" - 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...
