Hello, For dozens of hours I tried to make the ens1371 in my old Compaq computer in my university produce any sound with no luck.
I used red-had 8, Gentoo with 2.4 kernel, Gentoo with 2.6 kerenl. I tried amazingly many combinations. It didn't work. As much as I could have seen the computer was playning sounds, I just didn't hear any sounds. I should mention that Windows had no problem at all. Today I tried to play a CD but it didn't work. I became very suspicious, playing a CD has very little to do with the OS. So I took two speakers, connected to the soundcard and booted to Windows. Windows kept using the internal speaker. I booted to Linux, and EVERYTHING worked great with the external speakers. :-) So, Windows uses only the internal speaker and Linux uses only the external speakers. Can someone explain to me what is going on. Usually in computers, if there are no external speakers the internal speaker works and when you plug in the the external speakers they start to work. Is it a hardware feature or a software feature. Can I control which speakers will be use. Thanks, Yuval Scharf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
