Has anyone been able to get a Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI128 card to work? I'm running Slackware 8.1
SoundBlaster work only in XMMS.
I had the Emu10k driver in place. Still no go

What do you mean it "SoundBlaster work only in XMMS" ??

You've been asking alot of questions that seem to be asked alot here. Have you tried searching any at all ?

But if you insist on asking questions without finding answers here or elsewhere, please try to be more specific with your questions.
What else have you tried to get your sound working, and please clarify about the "SoundBlaster work only in XMMS" ??

Also to mention try to ask your questions in the appropiate forums, if its about software installation, ask in the software forum, slackware specific, ask in the Slackware forum. This Linux - General is really only intended for it your question truly doesn't fit in any other forum. Thanks.

I don't know why but now XMMS not work too !

Cannot open file /dev/dsp !

If your not root login as root and do this:

chmod 666 /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer*

Then try playing sound as a regular user.

chmod 666 /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer*

NO RESULT !!!

Error messages please ? Is this when your trying xmms or have you tried any other way to test your sound ??

Is this when your logged in as root or a regular user ?

More details please !!!!!!!!!!!!

Do "lsmod" (as root) and check that the es1371 module is loaded.
