Description Nick Boehling 2000-01-12 06:18:39 UTC
I have a SoundBlaster PCI 128 sound card installed and sndconfig detects it
as a Ensoniq ES 1371 Audio PCI-97.  When testing it freezes the system up.
My motherboard is a Asus BM6 and I have tried selecting the option for PNP
OS as yes and no in the bios.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2000-01-13 15:34:59 UTC
Does it hang the system completely, or just hang
sndconfig?

The card designation is correct; all of the Soundblaster PCI<x>
cards (except for the 512) are based off of the es1370 or es1371
chips.

Comment 2 Nick Boehling 2000-01-18 06:49:59 UTC
sndconfig is the only part that stops after I say OK to test the sound card.  I
can type  but the only way to exit is ctrl-c.  It displays this information:

es1371: unloading
es1371: version v.013 time 10:31:53 Sep 27 1999
es1371: found adapter at io 0xe800 irq 15
es1371: features joystick 0x0
es1371: codec vendor revision 0
es1371: codec features none
es1371: stereo enhancement: no         3D stereo enhancement

Then nothing else, no sound or anything so have to press ctrl-c to exit the
program.program.

Now when I boot klogd uses all of the cpu usage and has to be killed.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2000-01-18 16:30:59 UTC
OK, looks like you have one of the newer chips. It's
currently supported in the 2.2.15pre2 or greater kernel;
you can get the patch from
