Soundblaster Audio Pci 64 problem

I have a 2.4.21 kernel, I recompile it so It has the es1371 module for my soundcard. This is the second time I installed linux in my box.
The first time everything works fine and I follow up everything in alsa-projects.org and I could get my sound to work. Now when
I do a modprobe snd-ens1371 I get the can't locate module error. I do a modprobe es1371 and i t works but when I try to run alsamixer
it says the following error:

 

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

aplay -l shows this error: aplay: device_list:191: no soundcards found... 

lsmod:

Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
hcfpcihw                4456   2
hcfpciserial           30984   2        [hcfpcihw]
hcfpciengine          725236   0        [hcfpciserial]
hcfpciosspec           37420   1        [hcfpciserial hcfpciengine]
es1371                 31820   0
ac97_codec             12020   0        [es1371]

Can anyone help me getting my soundcard detected?

Thanks for those of U that read this post, I solve my problem upgrading my kernel to 2.6, it automatically detected my soundcard and I was able to use alsamixer to configure the sound volume. Thanks you are great !

Re: Soundblaster Audio Pci 64 problem

Just an FYI (since you already got it working), but you were mixing OSS and ALSA in your 2.4 kernel.  The es1371 module you compiled your kernel is the OSS module.  The snd-ens1371 module is from ALSA.

The reason it 'just works' now, is that in the 2.6 kernels, ALSA is the default and has replaced OSS.

Hi there!

I tried to install my soundcard with 2.6.5. i load snd_ens1371 and everything seems to be fine. i have /dev/sound/mixer and /dev/sound/dsp but when i tried to start a music file or something like that my card only makes strange noises. when i up my volume, the noises get louder..

i dont know what to do, because everything seems to work fine.

under windows 2k the card works fine....

thank you very much

I've got same kernel and soundcard. I had strange noise but when I disabled iec958 switch in kmix they went away. iec958 is in advanced settings in kmix.
