ES1371 not found by ALSA

vijayind · 02-09-2005, 04:02 AM

Hi,
I loaded Debian Sarge and found that ALSA didn't detect my Creative Ensoniq ES1371 sound card. But Suprisingly OSS/esdemon detect it. Hence Gmiz or alsamixer say no device found. But KDE with OSS as default makes all apps like Kmix work.
Also xine based components like totem,kaffeine works properly. Just Gnome integrated soft is a miss.

I heard that i need to recompile the KERNEL!!! with some additional module!!!

Plz help I am in a big mess!!!!

Use the following:

Code:

# apt-get install alsa-utils
# alsaconf
# alsamixer

ALSA is enabled in Sarge by default. You just need to configure it properly.

I have already rtied reinstalling the packages using synaptic package manager. My computer is not connected to the net, so i can't get those packages.

try modprobe snd-ens1371

When you say OSS works, does

Code:

lsmod

bring up any module with a similar name than the sound module, just without the snd_ in front of it?
Like "es1371" or "es1370"?
If so

Code:

rmmod module-name

and then

Code:

/etc/init.d/alsa restart

should get alsa running.
