Right. There's nothing wrong with es1371 chip or SB PCI64. It works great with OSS and ALSA. wavplay didn't work, though. Neither did KDE's sound features, hense I though there was something fishy with sb. "play" played wav's just fine and KDE was fixed with finddling with startkde's kaudioserver lines (found help for that from deja.com, question answered by Suse-chap, so thanks to him :-) Thanks for everyone who gave any pointers and hints. --Jyry On Thu, 24 Feb 2000, Philipp Thomas wrote:

I'm trying to install a sound card with es1371 based chip to a Suse 6.3 with 2.2.14. Everything went fine until I tried
Which driver are you using, OSS or ALSA? If OSS, I'd recommend ALSA. It's on the CDs, package alsa in series snd. This does work (I've a SB 128PCI in my machine at work). One of the nicest features of ALSA is, that you can save and restore the mixer settings via the tool alsactl that comes with it, another is the alsaconf tool, which lets you setup your soundcard(s). It'll detect PCI and ISA PnP cards automatically.

The only difference between a bug and a feature is you can turn a feature off.
