Can't set up sound card . . what am I doing wrong?
All,
Ok, this has me stumped.
I've got Mandrake 8.1 running on my machine, and have an Ensoniq AudioPCI soundcard, ES1370.
Works fine in Windows and all, but I can't seem to get it to work in Linux.
I first tried using sndconfig, and the version I have is:
sndconfig-0.65.0-2mdk.i586.rpm
had that installed, and it detected the card fine, then promptly reported that it was not currently supported card.
Then tried harddrake. HaVendor: Ensoniq
Model: ES1370 [AudioPCI]
Kernel Module: es1370
Bus Type: PCIrddrake notices that it's an Ensoniq ES1370 AudioPCI and when I select it shows:
Vendor:Ensoniq
Model: ES1370 AudioPCI
Kernel Module: es1370
Bus Type: PCI
I then try Run Configuration Tool which then pops up a window showing the ES1370 selected, and then when I choose OK it says that it's playing an 8-bit sample, but then the terminal window spits out:
No volume mixer available. So I'll not be able to adjust volume
And of course, no sound plays.
So, harddrake really doesn't do anything else for me there.
Also tried:
aumix -q
and get the message:
aumix: error opening mixer
So, um, what am I doing wrong here. I was given to understand that this card is supported by Linux in some form or another, and harddrake and sndconfig apparently are each telling me a different story.
Help anyone?!
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I figured maybe the es1370 module wasn't being loaded, so I tried going to the directory where the appropriate module file was and typed:
insmod es1370.o.gz
and I got a whole bunch of unresolved symbol messages as follows:
es1370.o.gz: unresolved symbol unregister_sound_mixer_R7afc9d8a
es1370.o.gz: unresolved symbol register_sound_dsp_R0f41aa14
es1370.o.gz: unresolved symbol gameport_register_port_Raa96bd99

es1370.o.gz: unresolved symbol register_sound_midi_R7fc226a2
es1370.o.gz: unresolved symbol unregister_sound_midi_Rfdab6de3
This, needless to say, hasn't clarified anything for me....maybe it's helpful info though?
