Alsa fails with es1371...

Hello,

I am trying to install my soundcard. I run, from a fresh install, alsaconf. After passing the initial screen, it builds the database, and I get this:

Code:

/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 348: let: a=(>>2) & 0x3f: syntax error: operand expected (error token is ">>2) & 0x3f")

/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 349: let: b=(( & 0x03) << 3) | (( >> 13) & 0x07): syntax error: operand expected (error token is "& 0x03) << 3) | (( >> 13) & 0x07)")

/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 350: let: c=(>> 8) & 0x1f: syntax error: operand expected (error token is ">> 8) & 0x1f")

/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 357: let: v=((>>8)&0xff)|((&0xff)<<8): syntax error: operand expected (error token is ">>8)&0xff)|((&0xff)<<8)")

I can still continue, and select my card, but nothing is working. I already tried rebuilding the kernel before, but then I hadn't noticed these messages, so maybe someone can help me, as this is very annoying :(

Not seeing the errors anymore, but it still will not work.. tried doing about everything I could find on google, but no use.. :( I would appreciate any tips at all on getting the es1371 to work...

es1371 sound module

is upgrading to the 2.6 kernel an option? support for the es1371 module is built-in (I'm using 2.6.5).

What happens when you type

modprobe snd-ens1371

That module (snd-ens1371.o.gz) is in the alsa-driver package, but
the driver package must match your kernel. For example,
alsa-driver-1.0.4-i486-2.tgz is for kernel 2.4.26.
