Hi all, Could someone please send me a copy of the relevent parts of your conf.modules file concerning the es1371 sound card, and maybe give me a pointer or two? I've got sound and the sound card driver compiled modularly into the kernel. The card is being detected correctly at boot, and you can see it in, say, the "Devices" part of the kde configuration system, and I'm not getting any odd error messages in /var/log/messages or on the screen when I load and unload the module. However, when I cat /dev/sndstat, I get a "device not found message, even though the soundcore and es1371 modules are loaded and /dev/sndstat exists. Of course, it's not working. I would add that it's living on IRQ 14 (I've got a tape controller card that needs to use IRQ 5), IO D800. Any suggestions would be appreciated- my friendly local library just got a bundle of new classic jazz CDs.
