[techtalk] sound probs

[Nicole]

My soundcard won't work in debian, not sure what kind of soundcard I have,
when I boot into windows, all it says is ES1879 Plug and Play Audio Drive.
However, I have the same laptop as a friend, and I copied his conf.modules
file (he is running redhat).

here is the output from lsmod:

bash-2.03$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
serial_cs               4992   0 (unused)
xirc2ps_cs             13884   1
ds                      6536   2 [serial_cs xirc2ps_cs]
i82365                 28568   2
pcmcia_core            50976   0 [serial_cs xirc2ps_cs ds i82365]
bash-2.03$ 

Then, after I remove sound and soundcore and try to modprobe sound I get:

bash-2.03$ sudo modprobe sound 
Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than
/lib/modules/2.2.14/modules.dep
Using /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sound.o
insmod: a module named sound already exists
insmod: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/sound.o failed
insmod: insmod sound failed
bash-2.03$ 

and then I get:

bash-2.03$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
sound                  57388   0 (unused)
soundcore               2564   3 [sound]
serial_cs               4992   0 (unused)
xirc2ps_cs             13884   1
ds                      6536   2 [serial_cs xirc2ps_cs]
i82365                 28568   2
pcmcia_core            50976   0 [serial_cs xirc2ps_cs ds i82365]
bash-2.03$ 

And here are the relevent lines from /etc/modules.conf:

alias sound sb
pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb io=0x240 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Nicole
