[mythtv-users] ENS1371 sound problem...

[JC]

Got a SB64 (ENS1371) card.  Installed the ALSA drivers/lib/tools/utils.  All
seems to go fine.  Doing this BTW:

./configure --with-cards=ens1371 --with-sequencer=yes

I can load up every module (snd,snd-pcm,snd-seq,seq-oss,mixer-oss,etc) just
fine.  However when I try and modprobe snd-ens1371 I get this:

[root at mythtv mythtv]# modprobe snd-ens1371
/lib/modules/2.4.21-rc1/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1371.o: init_module: No such
device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-rc1/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1371.o
failed
modprobe: insmod snd-ens1371 failed

Of course, aplay, etc. doesn't work and gives a:

aplay: main:462: audio open error: No such file or directory

When I tried installing and loading the kernel ES1371 module, it loads fine
but that's not the one Alsa wants right?  So, how do I get the snd-ens1371
to load?  Or, can I get Myth to work with the ES1371 module?

Finally, my motherboard has built-in audio (AC97, MSI KT2 Combo-L, VIA
KT266A, Athlon.  It has the VIA VT8235 Chipset which includes "Integrated
Hardware Sound Blaster/Direct Sound AC97 audio", ) which I disabled thinking
the SB64 card was more "standard".  I'd love to have that motherboard
built-in audio work instead.

Here's some debug output if this helps:

TIA!
