Sorry for the second post, but I felt it important to mention a few things
for anyone else who may struggle at some point in the future on this (and
is searching the archives). The kernel driver (es1371 support) did not
work for me despite unmuting the channels under Gnome's mixer or through
command line mixers. Those were different than alsamixer.. they have a
more obvious mute control.
So I don't know what the problem was with that driver. The ALSA package (I
used the latest from their site -- www.alsa-project.org ) worked very well.
(They have a vey good uninstall if you need that, too... :) The mini-HOTO
they provide was useful, though a bit outdated. Combined with the INSTALL
doc, the work was fairly painless. I am using the init.d file created by
Debian's package of alsa drivers (an older version), with all aliases
mentioned in the install package for the ens1371 set in
/etc/modutils/aliases.
Cheers,
Kenward
