Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 97707
redhat-config-soundcard doesn't support Sound Blaster 128
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:54:54 EDT
Description of problem: redhat-config-soundcard finds the correct module correctly, but I can't hear the test sound. It also says "The es1371 driver could not be loaded. This soundcard may not be compatible with Red Hat Linux" But after I typed "modprobe es1371" as root, sounds worked well. Also, sndconfig finds it correctly, so, I suppose this is a bug in redhat-config-soundcard. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Get a SB128 and plug it in, then install RH9 and run redhat-config-soundcard Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Can't get sounds to work Expected results: Should get sounds to work Additional info:
Is it possible that you didn't hear the sound because the speaker volume was too low? I have a SoundBlaster 128 in my machine and it works just fine with redhat-config-soundcard. As you said, the es1371 driver works fine too.
I have the same sound card and I can't hear sound. I can hear sound from the Line input and from CD, but not PCM sound nor MIDI. I haven't tested with a microphone. With RedHat 9, the same module (ES1371) was detected and sound worked correctly.
Fernando: it sounds like you are seeing a different problem. You should file a new bug against the kernel if the driver from RHL 9 worked but the one from FC1 does not. roskaposti_tanne: Have you had any more luck with this issue?
Closing due to lack of activity.
