Description MakeGho 2003-06-19 15:28:12 UTC
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

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.

Comment 2 Fernando Pinillos Villatoro 2004-01-05 20:02:39 UTC
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.


Comment 3 Brent Fox 2004-01-08 22:20:52 UTC
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.
