hi,

running slack9. when i boot all is well but insmod gives me about two screen fulls of messages about i810.o.gz not being able to load. I think that this has to do with my built-in motherboard sound which doesnt work even though i modprobed es1371 succesfully. In summary ttwo part question:
1) Why doesnt my sound work with es1371 modprobe like it did with slack 8.1

2) What are these annoying messages and how do i get rid of them.

thx

Give's a
and
mate ;)


Cheers,
Tink

well i have not been able to resolve my sound problems

i uncommented /sbin/modrobe es1371 from rc.modules
lsmod shows es1371 loaded as soundocore
the problem is that there is no sound now where there was with slack 8.1. lspci even finds the Ensoniq ES1371 sound chip. any ideas?

what other sound-related modules does
lsmod show?

And, did you try to use a mixer yet? Maybe
the volumes are zeroed by default...

Cheers,
Tink

lsmod also shows ac97 which it did when sound worked in slack 8.1. I did try kmix, i made the sound higher. nope. thx 4 help. more ideas?

also....the same thing when i login as root. so the sound device permissions are not whats causing the problem

I'd have thought that soundcore
should be showing up, too?

Cheers,
Tink

yeah soundcore is showing up to the left of es1371. i guess this measn that soundcore is using es1371 or something. still soundless...

Hmm ...

Let's see ...
permissions OK!
all modules loaded!
Mixer checked!

Plugged speakers into microphone jack? ;)

Cheers,
Tink

still no sound from an audio cd.

Hi, shellcode

There's some discussions about the error messages in this thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=60143

Hmmm ... did you get CD sound from other
Linux-Installations on this machine? Maybe
the internal cable from the CD-Drive to the
soundcard is missing?

Cheers,
Tink

well shouldnt KDE make some sounds when its loading up, cuz it doesnt. honestly i never actually tried to get a wave file and play it because i am pretty sure that KDE plays one.

Not if there was no sound available when you
first started it ...

Cheers,
Tink

some good news and some bad news:

good news:

i /etc/hotplug/blacklist 'ed the following
i810-tco
orinoco-plx

and voila no more annoying messages!!!

bad news:
still no hope with the sound...if i didnt say the sound also doesnt work on windows, the only difference is that on windows if i install the sound i cannot boot into windows any more (WinNT 4 SP6a)...so i guess something else is the problem, not just a loaded module...sigh.

ill be searching, if anyone has any more good ideas please tell me. thx you all.

ps...what is a good mixer? kmix is horrid...system slows down to a crawl when running kmix&. im looking for one that takes about no system resources (or exteremely little) and is good.

thx again

i dont get it,

the only change in my hardware is a new PCI ultra ata controller...nothing else:

there you have it....if youre gonna look at this the probably look at the Promise technology controller and the Ensonique

thx
