How to configure a SB PCI128?
Quoted 8 lines · ZYSERMAN Fabio
Hi, I apologize if the request has already been answered, but I am new to this list!
I have a Sound Blaster PCI128, could someone help me with the steps necessary to get it to work?
Thank you all in advance!
Short answer:
modprobe es1371
If that doesn't work, and es1371.o does not exist in your /lib/modules/* tree for the kernel you are running, then you are either in trouble, or this sound driver has been compiled into the kernel itself (which is not recommended).
Long answer:
If you have a redhat box, simply run the sndconfig utility, which puts an alias into /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules) that specifies an alias for the module.
On my redhat 7.0 box (with a 2.4.x kernel and the same sound card), I have:
alias sound-slot-0 es1371
Other distributions might have different mechanisms for setting this up. The alias name is also different ("alias sound es1371", IIRC) in earlier distributions (kernel version dependent).
Cheers
Tony
