I am presently running Debian Sarge. I am having a problem configuring my soundcard (or so I think).
The output of kudzu -p yields
Code:
class: AUDIO
bus: PCI
detached: 0
driver: snd-ens1371
desc: "Unknown vendor|Generic snd-ens1371 device"
vendorId: 1274
deviceId: 5880
subVendorId: 1274
subDeviceId: 2000
pciType: 1
pcidom: 0
pcibus: 0
pcidev: a
pcifn: 0
sndconfig is not installed and will not install using apt-get
Code:
debian:/home/andy# apt-get install sndconfig

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sndconfig: Depends: kudzu (>= 0.99.49-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
yet kudzu seems to work fine and has even attempted to configure the soundcard
arTs is on a crash/restart loop which even a reboot will not get rid off.

I have tried reinstalling arts (?, is this still the program I need to be dealing with) and uninstalling and installing again but this has not solved the problem. I have also added the following lines to /etc/modules.conf
Code:
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/alsa
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1370
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/alsa
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
# OSS/Free portion - card #2 (cmipci)
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
where alsa is a text file that resides is /etc/modutils that contains the following
Code:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1370
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
All of this is to no avail. I still class myself as a newbie and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Andy
