Does SuSE 64-bit supports sound?

Hey there,

I've recently bought a 64-bit AMD computer and have inserted my PCI Ensoniq
1370 sound card. I've tried it and it works just fine on the 32-bit SuSE 10.0
Eval edition. But I can't say the same for the 64-bit edition that I've
installed from scratch.

It looks like sound support wasn't added to the kernel. Firstly, the errors I
was getting from the command "modprobe snd-ens1370" were:
«FATAL: Module snd-ens1370 not found.»

Then, I've installed Alsa-drivers, utils and libs from source, even though
the software manager says the RPMs are already installed. Now, the error I'm
getting is as follows:
«linux:~ # modprobe snd-ens1370
WARNING: Error inserting snd
(/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/sound/acore/snd.ko): Unknown
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
WARNING: Error inserting snd_ak4531_codec

dmesg)

FATAL: Error inserting snd_ens1370
(/lib/modules/2.6.13-15-default/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1370.
ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)»

dmesg outputs a lot of repetitions, so I'm just reporting the tail:
«linux:~ # dmesg | tail
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_free_pages
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_set_ops
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_list
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_device_new
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_new
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_set_ops
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_free_for_all
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_constraint_ratnums
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_period_elapsed
snd_ens1370: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_format_width»

Is this a problem of the kernel or Alsa? And is it true that SuSE 10.0 Eval
64-bit doesn't ship with sound support?

Cheers,
Ricardo
