Re: Continuing sound saga (es1370, etc.)

[Ron Hale-Evans <rwhe@ludism.org>]

I created a file called "audio" in /etc/modutils, with the single 
line "alias sound-slot-0 es1370". No luck, as you predicted.

I then extracted a kernel image for my kernel to a separate 
directory, rmmod'ed sound, soundlow, soundcore, and es1370 (not in 
that order), copied over fresh versions of them from the extracted 
kernel image, then insmod'ed the fresh copies of the modules. Sound 
still hangs!

I'm baffled. Any further ideas?

BTW, Debian University looks very cool. I'm going to read the section 
on modules right away.

Thanks...
