I have es1371 card (pci). works here (even joystick finally!). Is
this the same or do you have 1370?

What are you connecting to "volume meter" with. For a console mixer,
I recommend cam. Come to think of it, I don't think cam can change
the recording channel... but I still like it. Gmix is good gnome
mixer in gnome-media package (I have helix; it's in gnome-media
package here. I assume non-helix is the same if you have that).

I imagine you should remove them. Why are they loaded? Are they
automatically loaded at boot? If so, edit /etc/modules and remove
them.
The sounds that come out, are they garbled?
You're not using alsa are you..? If you are you're probably missing
the mixer-oss module. I don't recommend using alsa yet for es1371
card. I could not get my joystick to work among other things...
Perhaps the permissions on /dev/dsp or /dev/mixer are wrong. I
believe adding youself to group audio will solve that problem.
