sound is no longer working after having rebooted my computer. when i try to play music using music123, i get the following error:
Can't find a suitable libao driver. (Is device in use?) this i've seen before. so i updated kernels to make sure i had all the modules i needed -- sound and soundcore are both modprobed just fine -- but when i try to modprobe es1371 (the `lspci -vv` output for my soundcard is below), i get the following error message: orange:~# modprobe es1371 /lib/modules/2.4.26-1-686/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.26-1-686/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26-1-686/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.26-1-686/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o: insmod es1371 failed my soundcard: 00:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq: Unknown device 0371 (rev 09) Subsystem: Ensoniq: Unknown device 0371 Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=slow >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (3000ns min, 32000ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 12 Region 0: I/O ports at e400 [size=64] Capabilities: <available only to root> here's what i know: - all my sound devices exist and have the correct permissions, and i'm in the audio group (the errors come as root, too). i tried regenerating them with /dev/MAKEDEV; i tried symlinking /dev/dsp to each of /dev/dsp{0..3} in turn. i have devfs in my kernel (2.4.26), which i've been led to believe is relevant here. - knoppix (v3.3) gives me the same error, and i can't get sound from it, either!! this is unusal -- usually when i have a problem like this, knoppix can auto-detect what i need ... - the only thing at all relevant that shows up in dmesg when i try to modprobe the es1371 module is this line: es1371: version v0.32 time 18:47:57 May 1 2004 i've exhausted my knowledge of the sound subject. does this look familiar to anyone who could help me out? thanks a lot, </nori> [sorry about the earlier blank message -- don't know what happened there] -- .~. nori @ sccs.swarthmore.edu /V\ http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/~nori // \\ @ maenad.net /( )\ www.maenad.net/jnl ^`~'^ ++ Sponsor me as I run my SECOND marathon for AIDS: ++ ++ http://www.aidsmarathon.com/participant.asp?runner=DC-2844 ++
