Re: [expert] ESS 1868 sound card
Submitted 26-Aug-00 by Jim Hodgers: Can you send me all the related configuration files for setting this up please? That is, /etc/isapnp.conf (if anything is in it) and /etc/conf.modules; maybe other necessary config files. I'd like to give ALSA a whirl, but since it's not my machine, I'd like to have a relatively simple install process. Put it somewhere were I can find it too, I have the same card and problem This is my modules.conf (conf.modules for most of you) that sets it all up, I have no /etc/isapnp.conf, the isapnp.o module from ALSA handles that for me: alias block-major-11 sr_mod pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc post-nstall lp echo 7 /proc/parport/0/irq post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=2 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-es18xx options snd-card-es18xx snd_index=0 snd_id="ES18XX" # OSS/Free compatibility portion 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-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias sound snd-card-0 -- Anton GrahamGPG ID: 0x18F78541 [EMAIL PROTECTED] RSA key available upon request A copy of the universe is not what is required of art; one of the damned things is ample. -- Rebecca West

Re: [expert] ESS 1868 sound card
Submitted 25-Aug-00 by Asheesh Laroia: Has anyone configured an ESS 1868 sound card using Mandrake? I can't get it to work. I used Harddrake, and selected sound card, then ESS 1868, and it seemed to give it a reasonable configuration set (IRQ 5, I/O 220), but the "modprobe sb" afterwards gives me a "device busy" error. If I'm not mistaken, the configuration set it gives the card is the same config as a true SoundBlaster 16. I have yet to see sounddrake _not_ choke on an ESS 18xx card. Yes, for kernel sound modules, the config is 100% identical to an SB. The questions are: 1) is the card set up plug and pray? 2) If so, have you considered using ALSA drivers (which support plug and pray) for it? 3) if it isn't PnP and/or ALSA isn't an option, are you sure that that it is set to those defualts? I use ALSA on an 1868 with a very simple config. In addition to the generic ALSA options for OSS compatibility and such: alias snd-card-0 snd-card-es18xx options snd-card-es18xx snd_index=0 snd_id="ES18XX" This allows for a consistent config across several machines which have the card cofigured differently (typically differences in IRQ). -- Anton GrahamGPG ID: 0x18F78541 [EMAIL PROTECTED] RSA key available upon request "First things first -- but not necessarily in that order" -- The Doctor, "Doctor Who"
