Description Carl T. Miller 2001-08-17 05:20:31 UTC

Description of problem:
I have an ES1988 Allegro-1 card built into my laptop.  When I run
sndconfig, it says it found a PCI card and identifies it, then it
says the card is supported, but mine is disabled.  It recommends
setting 'PNP OS' to 'No' in the BIOS.  My BIOS doesn't give me that
option.  At the ESS website, they say their cards are all SB 
compatable, but I don't know how to tell sndconfig to use the SB
drivers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run sndconfig


Actual Results:  It gave the messages as described above.

Expected Results:  It would install the right modules, give a good message,
and exit.

Can you post the output of lspci -vn?

Comment 2 Warren Togami 2001-08-24 11:11:37 UTC

I have another notebook with the ES1988 Allegro-1 with the exact same problem.

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2001-08-24 15:50:09 UTC

Your device is not enabled. You need to frob the BIOS or machine somehow so it has
an IRQ assigned to it. (If you look at the lspci output, the device has IRQ 0
assigned to it...)

Comment 5 Warren Togami 2001-08-24 23:00:28 UTC

We do not have the BIOS options to a disable Plug and Play OS, or to manually 
assign resources to devices.  We need a pure software work-around for this 
problem, or else sound will not be working on many of these notebooks.

Comment 6 Warren Togami 2001-09-03 06:38:13 UTC

Can you at least tell me where to find a mailing list, sites or developers of 
Linux sound drivers?  It is currently IMPOSSIBLE to use this sound device on 
these many new notebook computers due to the lack of the BIOS option to enable 
the device.

(disable Plug and Play)

Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2001-09-03 15:57:28 UTC

kernel drivers would be at linux-kernel.org, or
linux-sound.org.

You *may* try enabling ACPI in your kernel, but I don't think the ACPI
configuration infrastructure is complete enough for this yet.
