Hello All!
I have a newly installed Debian 2.2r0 (yes, I know I should upgrade,
but that's what was on the cd...) system that I'm trying to get my sound
card (SoundBlaster PCI 128) working on.
So far, I have downloaded the latest 2.2 kernel (2.2.19) and
compiled in support for the card (CONFIG_SOUND_ES1371=y), with no success.
After booting the newly compiled kernel, the soundcard is recognized (see
dmesg output fragment below), but it is unusable, ie. 'cat /dev/sndstat'
returns: No such device.
I realize this is probably not a Debian specific question, but as
I have read the Sound-HOWTO about 13 times already, I figured it couldn't
hurt to ask here... I am enclosing the appropriate parts of /proc/pci and
dmesg output to help troubleshooting.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Joe Nahmias

PPS - I dual boot with Win 98SE on this machine, and sound is happy there.
