Hi everyone,
I have a problem which is very similar to an existing one, which was
discussed one year ago here.
This one:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg22930.html
So here is my setup:
IPC Topnote G (Laptop) with this audio chip:
00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Creative Labs Ectiva EV1938
[1102:8938]
Subsystem: Creative Labs Device [1102:5938]
Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=slow >TAbort- <TAbort-
<MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Latency: 96 (3000ns min, 32000ns max)
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 5
Region 0: I/O ports at fc40 [size=64]
Region 1: I/O ports at fcc0 [size=32]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: ENS1371
Kernel modules: snd-ens1371
The machine runs with Debian Lenny (kernel: 2.6.26) and there is no
sound with alsa. I thought the problem is fixed in a recent kernel, but
compiling and installing 2.6.31.6 made no change. If I want to play an
audio file there is no error message, it seems that the file ist still
playing but without sound. There is no warning in dmesg, all channels
are at maximum level:
$ aplay -v soundfile.wav
Playing WAVE 'soundfile.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono
Hardware PCM card 0 'Ensoniq AudioPCI' device 0 subdevice 0
Its setup is:
stream : PLAYBACK
access : RW_INTERLEAVED
format : S16_LE
subformat : STD
channels : 1

^CAborted by signal Interrupt...
Here are some useful commands and their output:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
