Problem with AudioPCI (ES1370)/ kernel 2.2.0

[Ramesh Natarajan <nram@rocketmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a Creative Ensoniq AudioPCI that used to work with Windowss NT.
I installed Debian 2.0 couple of months back and had not
made any attempts to get sound to work. Yesterday, I got 
Kernel 2.2.0 and it seem to be working; but not 100%.

I enabled CONFIG_SOUND_ES1370 as module while compiling.
After booting, I did a insmod -s es1370.

When I try cat something.au > /dev/dsp, I do get some
sound, but the volume is TOO low. I have to practically
glue myself to the speakers to hear anything. I tried to
play CD, I played something with rvplayer. Everything has
same problem. 

I tried sox (with -v) option, it does not help. I played
differennt file types like voc. Everything has the same
problem.

Any clue? 
Please Cc your response to nram@nram.virtualAve.net also.

Thanks, nram                   nram@nram.virtualAve.net

I tried es1370 over es1371 since (as per Configure.help)
when I try lspci -n, I get

-- lspci output --

lspci -v produces this output:

-- lspci -v output: (partly cut)00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq

        Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 96, IRQ 11
