Didn't have any problems, after switching from OSS to ALSA I am amazed of the capabilities of this device.

No problems with this device, a simple 'modprobe es1371' and voila.. You can find it at a local walmart has a Creative SoundBlaster 16 PCI.

I bought this card to replace my onboard sound which did not work with Linux.
It has worked with various distributions (Mandrake, Slackware, Debian, Suse). Is usually autodetected on install if the distro allows or load the module as hackers_ mentions.
A cheap way to get sound on your Linux box.

This soundcard (aka Soundblaster 16 PCI) works well with Debian & has given no problems at all. I would even say that the sound quality of CDs & mp3 is slightly better running under Debian than it was when I used Windows.
When I upgrade to Woody, I shall be looking to get some sort of MIDI functionality up & running.
Gavin.

No problems at all! SoundCard is fully operational, recognition and configuration prety much straightforward. I'd recomend this card to anyone.

I've ran this soundcard on Redhat 9, Mandrake 9, Mandrake 9.2 and am now running it on Slackware 9.1. It works like a charm!

My system came with this card hardwired as onboard audio. It has worked perfect with every Linux system I've ever tested it with. Slackware, Gentoo, SUSE, and Fedora/Red Hat just to name a few. It even worked with super customized versions of Core Linux and Linux from Scratch. This card is Linux friendly to the max!

On SuSE 9.1, if you have KDE Mixer installed, and configured to auto start on boot up, then it might be muting your Ensoniq ES1371 sound card each time when the system boots up. It's not that the system isn't recognizing the card.
You'll have to get rid of kdemultimedia3-mixer.
As root, run 'lspci' to verfiy that the sound card is recognized. If the soundcard is listed, but you still don't hear the sound, then here's a likely fix:
