ES1371 Soundcard

[evulish]

Ok, I've got the latest Debian and I have alsa installed (I think).

It says it has the drivers for my soundcard and I tried to get it to work, but I get errors like:

Loading driver:
Starting sound driver: off done.
Starting sound driver: off done.
Starting sound driver: off done.
Starting sound driver: off done.
Starting sound driver: off done.
Starting sound driver: snd-card-ens1371 failed.
alsactl not found, mixer settings will not be restored.
Setting the PCM volume to 100% and the Master output volume to 50%
./alsaconf: amixer: command not found
Could not initialize the mixer, the card was probably
not detected correctly.


Anyone know how to fix this? I'd really like to get my soundcard working in linux! (After that, all my internal hardware will be working!)

Looks like you don't really have an es1371 sound card to me. Are you sure you are using the right driver?

[evulish]

i think its an ES1371. Not really sure...My lil Dell sheet says its a Sound Blaster 64v PCI sound. Alsa autoconfigured the soundcard when I had SuSE (and I think it congigured it for an ES1371 but I'm not sure).

Yeah, Soundblaster PCI 128 would be an es1371
or es 1370. Besides, you would'nt need ALSA
to configure that, it's supported by default
if you look in modconf.

Ok, I tried modconf, looked in misc and didn't find anything about my sound blaster. I installed sound (The oss sound package) but that didn't work.

What do I install?

ES1371 can be configured right into the kernel.

Works for me on a Sound Blaster Ensoniq AudioPCI card. It uses the ES1371 chip.

I believe it may be supported in the standard sound module also. the ES186X chips are.

Just run:
grep 137 /proc/pci
and see which model it reports...
