Sarge with an Ensoniq Soundscape Elite ISA sound card



Hi,

I'm running Sarge with an old Ensoniq Sounscape Elite ISA card.  I read a lot during the past few month to get this card working but everything I tried didn't work so far.  It's a pretty old card and all the information I could find was outdated.  One thing I know is that I had sound with this card on Redhat (can't remember the version but it was in 1998!).  The card is not discovered by the system because I got nothing when I try the isapnp tool.  I know the dma, irq, etc. but it didn't work when I entered them as options in the alsa file in /etc/modutil/alsa (I did an "update-modules" after).  When I start alsa (/etc/init.d/alsa start), I got this message:"Starting ALSA.../etc/init.d/alsa: Error: alsactl restore failed with message 'alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found...'". 

Here is a part of the lsmod

snd_sscape             17184  0
snd_cs4231_lib         28128  1 snd_sscape
snd_pcm                98440  1 snd_cs4231_lib
snd_timer              25924  2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc         10120  3 snd_sscape,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm
snd_hwdep               9668  1 snd_sscape
snd_mpu401_uart         8128  1 snd_sscape
snd_rawmidi            25224  1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device          9004  1 snd_rawmidi
snd                    57828  8 snd_sscape,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
soundcore              10336  1 snd

Also, after doing a lot of things, I heard some scrachy sounds but this was a few weeks ago.

I don't know if my webcam's microphone interfere with the sound card.

I was thinking about getting a newer card but I want to give a try with this one before doing so.

Thanks in advance.

Etienne
