I modprobed es1371 and it worked fine, however I'm not getting any
sound. I was getting sound before I upgraded alsa-driver and installed
alsa-utils. I checked to make sure that alsasound was running; it
wasn't. I tried to start it and got this output:
baby root # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
* Loading ALSA modules...
* Loading: snd-card-0...
/lib/modules/2.4.26-gentoo-r15/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1371.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

[ ok ]
I will try rebooting and see if it fixes the problem, but I have a
feeling it won't...
