You should have no problems with that player I am talkin about then. No support for your soundcard? Does lsmod not show anything? modprobe it and see what happens

bkeating · 07-20-2002, 04:24 AM

lsmod

soundcore (autoclean)

is what it gave, plus the other things.

BTW, god bless you for all your help. ty ty ty

bkeating · 07-20-2002, 04:26 AM

what would i give the modprobe?

/dev/audio ?

MasterC · 07-20-2002, 04:28 AM

No, you would give it whatever your sound card is. example for SoundBlaster Live!
modprobe emu10k1

So what soundcard do you have?

bkeating · 07-20-2002, 04:35 AM

you know... i've been assuming it's a soundblaster but... i've been looking on google and haven't found any info on it other then a replacement soundcard is $5

It's a Toshiba Satallite Pro 400CDT (90mhz version)

MasterC · 07-20-2002, 04:39 AM

It's the ESS688 sound card , I will be right back, gonna find the module name. Try modprobe esssound, not too sure though, be right back.

bkeating · 07-20-2002, 04:50 AM

# modprobe esssound
modprobe: Can't locate module esssound

MasterC · 07-20-2002, 04:53 AM

modprobe snd-card-audiodrive1688

MasterC · 07-20-2002, 04:54 AM

And it claims to be SB compatible, so if for some reason that modprobe doesn't work (which according to alsa that's right), then try:
modprobe snd-card-sb16

You might be able to remove the "card" part from each of those if it doesn't work that way.

bkeating · 07-20-2002, 04:56 AM

same

im out of ideas...

MasterC · 07-20-2002, 04:58 AM

Hmmm
modprobe snd-pcm1-oss But that probably won't be of any help either. http://new.linuxnow.com/docs/content...a-sound-5.html was where I got some of that.

What's the error when you do a modprobe sb16?

bkeating · 07-20-2002, 05:03 AM

# modprobe snd-card-sb16
modprobe: Can't locate module snd-card-sb16

It says that if that is your soundcard (which someone giving a kernel how to had your laptop and it came with the ESS688, that's where I found it), then the es1688 module should work. What did modprobe es1688 comeback saying?
