Re: SB 128 PCI w/2.1 kernel
as far as i know the SB 128 PCI is based on the chip es1371 so i would try CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371=y instead. Thanks Helmut, but no, there's two different varieties of the SB 128 PCI according to the driver readme. You identify them with a 'lspci -n' command; according to the output I'm using the right one. But since I've tried about everything else I can think of, perhaps I ought to give the other a try. :-) -- Regards,| Why would anyone want to run an operating . | system that is open source and is developed Randy | by hundreds of hackers worldwide?

What kernel is this, exactly (if it really is a 2.1, you should probably upgrade)? Are you using compiled-in drivers, or modules?

Re: SB 128 PCI w/2.1 kernel
What kernel is this, exactly (if it really is a 2.1, you should probably upgrade)? Are you using compiled-in drivers, or modules? I was running the 2.2.1 kernel which is in potato. Since your message I jumped over to netgod.net and grabbed the debs for 2.2.5. Installed them, configured and compiled (all went nicely), installed and rebooted, and I get the exact same thing (no sound, no /proc/sound). Does your .config file have a line that says CONFIG_SOUND=m (or 'y', as approprate)? CONFIG_SOUND=y CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370=y is what I have in the /usr/src/linux/.config file. -- If the current stylistic distinctions between open-source and commercial software persist, an open-software revolution could lead to yet another divide between haves and have-nots: those with the skills and connections to make use of free software, and those who must pay high prices for increasingly dated commercial offerings. -- Scientific American

hi look for /dev/audio... if it's not there run /dev/MAKEDEV audio it should work and yes, it's an ensoniq card, sb bought them some times ago.

The card's id'ed as a 1275:5000 by lspci -n, so I've compiled it with the Ensoniq ES1370 driver in the kernel's sound options. However, I can't get a squeak out of the card. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to sound, despite reading the howtos and such; can someone give me some hints about what I'd need to do to configure this card?

look for /dev/audio... if it's not there run /dev/MAKEDEV audio Yes, I already have a audio device: crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 14, 4 Apr 1 18:18 /dev/audio (I added the other r/w perms myself) Still no noise though. I'm thinking that I need something else in the kernel configuration (I've never played with the sound settings). Right now the only thing I have in the kernel configuration is Ensoniq AudioPCI (ES1370) flagged as asterisk to compile it right in. The compile goes fine, it's just that I get no sound.

no, dont need to load oss driver, just the es1370 That's what I thought after reading the kernel es1370 docs; good. Right now I've got the driver compiled straight into the kernel (not as a module). what do you get at boot? Things look fine.
