[SuSE Linux] Ensonique PCI Audio cards & 2.2.1.
Has anybody been able to get Ensonique PCI Audio cards to work with the 2.2.x kernels? I've got the es1371 chipset; and when I compile the new driver into the kernel, I can't get any sound. No luck with compiling as a module either; I can't get it to load. If you've had success with this, please post the procedure you used -- and weather you compiled the driver in the kernel or as a module. (If it's the latter, do you recommend kerneld or kmod?) The new driver should be a ticket out of OSS hell (ie., some of the OSS bugs) for those of us owning the card; I can't wait to get it up and running. -- Glenn -- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html

I have the es1370 on an Audio PCI64 card, I compiled into the kernel instead of as a module. Are you sure you have a es1371 and not a es1370? If you watch during bootup, or type dmesg after bootup you should see the messages (these are for es1370): es1370: version v0.17 time 19:30:26 Feb 24 1999 es1370: found adapter at io 0xe800 irq 10 es1370: features: joystick on, line in, mic impedance 0 If you don't get the found adapter message you might have a conflict of some kind, you could try lspci to see what your pci settings are.

Dunc, Thanks for the tip.
I have the es1370 on an Audio PCI64 card, I compiled into the kernel instead of as a module.
Are you sure you have a es1371 and not a es1370?
Yes, you were exactly on target! I'd forgotten I'd had the es1370 chip -- it compiled perfectly into the kernel. However . . . the sound volume is much lower than it was with the OSS drivers. It's only audible (but acceptible in terms of fidelity) with the volume knob on my speaker cranked to high. Have you noticed this problem as well? Is there any way to tweak the volume setting provided as a default (if there is such a thing) with the 2.2.1. Ensonique driver? -- Glenn -- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html

I don't know how to change it on the command line, but you can change the volume in kde with the mixer. The default is every chanel really quiet (compared to my windows settings). The only problem is it doesn't save the new settings, I haven't tried any of the x windows or command line mixers that are in the sound series on the linux cd's. These might be better...

I don't know how to change the default values, it would be possible to change the source code for the driver - but it's hardly the nicest solution...

I've been having a very interesting problem relating to this, starting with 2.2.1 and now with 2.2.2. When than sound driver loads, every mouse movement and every drive read or write causes a low frequency noise that emulates the drive activity or mouse movement to be emitted from the speakers.
