es1373 sound + KDE

["Michel Loos,,," <loos@qt1.iq.usp.br>]

Hi,

I have problems setting up sound on a computer with a SoundBlaster
PCI128 soundcard.

This uses a es1373 chip.

I installed the es1371 module (modprobe es1371) which seems to be
installed.

When I run a mixer e.g. aumix the module gets used (verified by lsmod)

But no sound at all through "cat > /dev/dsp"
When I run "play somefile.wav" (from sox package) the program executes
fine showing the "Playing xxxx" messages, but no sound to hear.
All outputs were maximized using aumix, still no sound.


Supposing this can be resolved, I have heared that the next problem will
be KDE which uses the /dev/sndstat file which is not used by the es1371
driver.

By the way running woody, 2.4.18-smp kernel.


Thanks

Michel.
