From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Description of problem: soundcard is detected by sndconfig but does not work. The module is es1371, and lsmod list does not list it. However, insmod es1371 says it is already installed. There is no sound played from "play test sound" or using an audio Cd, mp3 wav files, etc. Web support has helped and suggested I submit a bug report. The card is on irq 11 by itself. Thanks. Have been told that this card does work in Red Hat Linux 9.0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.4.20-18.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run lsmod and the card is not listed. 2.run insmod es1371 and it says "already exists" 3. sndconfig detedts the es1371 card, but won't play a "test sound' Actual Results: file exist is listed, but the card in not shown in lsmod Expected Results: not sure. was hoping the card would be installed correctly. Additional info: Have been told taht this card DOES work with Red Hat Linux 9.0 If there is an irq conflict ( irq 11) can it be corrected?
This is probably a driver issue. Do you have any USB devices attached?
USB 1 devices on the system are: USB HP Photosmart S20 scanner, a ZiO! compact flash card reader and a 4 port USB Hub. Also, Mandrake Linux detected this sound card and it worked well with the exact same hardware and USB devices. Not sure if there are similar drivers used between Red Hat and Mandrake but maybe it will be helpful.
The es1371 drivers are identical between Red Hat and Mandrake last time I checked.
If the Mandrake and Red Hat Linux drivers are identical, then why doesn't this work? Same computer. No new devices of any kind have been added for a few years. so it's strange to me that the soundcard doesn't work. Linux is a new thing for me and a learning experience, so there are NO critical files or data that I need. so anything that can be done in a "try this" mode is fine with me. As long as it has a reasonalbe chance of fixing the problem. Thanks to everyone for their help.
Just opened a terminal window as root and decided to run insmod for a few modules and the results are entered below. Hope this helps with the soundcard problem.
