Sound card problem
I've got a es1371 as well. I've spent days trying to get it working with
the OSS drives that come with 2.4.18. Absolutely no joy. I don't think
it's because I'm an idiot. I got my ISA PnP SoundBlaster 16 working OK at
home very quickly (although I can't get it to play .wav files through gnome
or KDE's sound daemons, it can play and record .au files, play CD's and work
with CivCTP)
Far be it from me to say - but Debian's sound configuration leaves a lot to
be desired. I don't know how many hours I've spent trying to work out what
devices, aliases, modutils entries permissions I need to use to get the
thing going. I'd love help to sort this all out, and then I'll write a good
howto specifically for Debian users.
Sorry I'm no help.

A quick google shows that at least one person uses es1371 as the driver
for that card. Try "modprobe es1371", and if that doesn't work, check
the kernel's config to see if sound is modular.

That makes sense if the hardware is not configured (although to stop the
permissions problem, you should have just added yourself to group
audio).

Probably not the problem, my system (sound working) has them. They
represent different devices (according to devices.txt.gz, digital audio
with dsp being the first soundcard, dsp1, second).
