Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI - module loads, but no sound...



A friend has a new PC (Athlon 900MHz) with a motherboard with onboard
"SoundBlaster PCI128" (or should I call it Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI...)

Relevant Output of lspci:

$ /sbin/lspci | grep 5880 ; /sbin/lspci -n | grep 5880
00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 03)
00:0e.0 Class 0401: 1274:5880 (rev 03)

The odd thing is, the es1371 module loads without any apparent problems
(Output of dmesg:

es1371: version v0.27 time 17:21:08 May  3 2001
es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x5880 revision 0x03
PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:0e.0
es1371: found es1371 rev 3 at io 0xd000 irq 10
es1371: features: joystick 0x0
ac97_codec: AC97  codec, id: 0x0000:0x0000 (Unknown)
)

and the mixer appears to work (I used gom -it), but when I try to play
something (an mp3 with mpg123, a wav or .au with sox's "play", esd's
test by simply running "esd"), the relevant program "freezes" and no
sound comes out. (By "freezes" I mean it doesn't have any progress -
it is not the case that they are playing but the sound is muted.)

A search on google didn't turn anything up (other than that 1274:5880
works with the es1371 module...) - maybe I need to refine my searching
techniques though... ;)

Any ideas?

Oh, and I'm using kernel 2.4.2.. I'm gonna try alsa now.

Thanks,
