Description Bob 2003-06-25 21:01:43 UTC
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?

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2003-06-25 22:03:01 UTC
This is probably a driver issue.

Do you have any USB devices attached?

Comment 2 Bob 2003-06-29 21:43:14 UTC
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.

Comment 3 Alan Cox 2003-07-05 13:27:10 UTC
The es1371 drivers are identical between Red Hat and Mandrake last time I checked.


Comment 4 Bob 2003-07-05 21:31:48 UTC
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.

Comment 5 Bob 2003-07-06 13:00:47 UTC
 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.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
