It appears that you should be set up to make some sounds. Tried the same trick with the es1370, no luck with that one It sounds like you may not have that module compiled - although it probably would have the name snd-es1370, not sure One thing you might want to try, if you didn't do this at first. You might want to go back into your alsa modules directory, maybe 'make clean', or even delete the alsa modules directory and untar the sources again. then, in the /usr/src/alsa-driver directory, do ./configure --with-cards=snd-cs4236,another card if desired,still another You might issue the command ./configure --help, I use a couple others --with-synthesizer (I think), and there's a --with-pnp or something, too. Make-kpkg will configure the modules, but I don't think it allows you to do these things. After you compile and re-install, look in your /lib/modules/kernel-name/alsa directory and see if the needed modules are there. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
