Re: Sound ES1371 issues
Thanks for the response.
My .config file looks pretty much like yours (kernel 2.2.9):
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370=m
CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371=m
# CONFIG_SOUND_SONICVIBES is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDCLAS is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_MSNDPIN is not set
# CONFIG_SOUND_OSS is not set
Doing a "cat /proc/pci" results in:
cat: /proc/pci: No such file or directory
The output from "lspci -vv":
00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 06)

The output from "lsmod":

Again, thanks for any help!
