Hi, I have a problem with my onboard sound chip CT5880 on a Gigabye GA7ZXR.
I have Debian 2.2r2. When I installed it I selected the modules es1371 and soundcore. Then I installed alsaconf and other alsa packages and configured the module 0x10 Ensoniq-AudioPCI_ES1371 in alsaconf. Then i did update-modules. Here is the resulting section in /etc/modules.conf : ### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/alsa # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 0.4.2 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm1-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0 options snd-card-ens1371 snd_index=1 snd_id=CARD_1 snd_dac1_frame_size=4 snd_dac2_frame_size=4 snd_adc_frame_size=4 # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- ### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/alsa I choose frame_size 4 because I did'nt know better. What should I choose here? lsmod says among others(there are no other sound related modules): es1371 0 (unused) soundcore 0 [es1371] The only thing in /etc/modules is: es1371 I'm getting the following boot messages (output from dmesg): es1371: version v0.22 time 19:13:40 Nov 18 2000 es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x5880 revision 0x03 es1371: found es1371 rev 3 at io 0xd800 irq 10 es1371: features: joystick 0x0 es1371: codec vendor (0x000000) revision 0 (0x00) es1371: codec features none es1371: stereo enhancement: no 3D stereo enhancement and later shortly before Starting kdm: Starting sound driver: snd-card-ens1371 failed. The soundchip is according to the boot messages the only device on IRQ 10. amixer says: The alsa sound driver was not detected on this system. alsaplayer says: alsaplayer 0.99.... alsaplayer: error accessing dac xmms-1.0.1 (OSS output) freezes when I want to open an audio file. play (sox) doesn't make an error message, instead it pretends it's playing, but I can't hear anything. I did that all as root. I'm mostly interested in the SPDIF output. Line out and SPDIF out are sharing the same output jack. Any idea how I can switch between analog and digital out once I get sound out of it? Any help is much appreciated. Robert -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
