[Alsa-user] Problems with ens1371 soundcard

[Dan <da...@ba...>]

Greetings from Russia!

I've found some problems with my soundcard under Linux, would you be
so kind as to tell me the way out ?

Motherboard    : Asus P3B-F (440BX chipset)

Distribution   : Mandrake 8.0 Russian Edition

Kernel         : 2.2.18 recompiled with "modular sound support" and
                 without choosing any card (as it was said in
                 alsa-HOWTO) and with PNP support (shall I turn it off
                 during next compile ?)
                =20
alsa version   : drivers,utils,libs - 0.5.10
Snd card model : Creative SB AudioPCI 128, rev 8,(CT5803)

According to WIn98 settings: (no problems with sound - I use 2 OS on
my PC)

Port       : 220
IRQ        : 7
8  bit DMA : 1
16 bit DMA : 7

MPU-401 settings:
Port       : 330
IRQ        : 7

after booting and logging as root 'cat /proc/pci/' shows:

Bus  0, device  11, function  0:
  Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 (rev 8).
  Slow devsel.  Master Capable.  Latency=3D32.  Min Gnt=3D12.Max Lat=3D12=
8.
  I/O at 0xd000 [0xd001].

after compiling Alsa driver for ens1371 there are 2 files with
'ens1371' in their names at /lib/modules/kernel-name/misc/sound :
snd-ens1371 and snd-card-ens1371

modprobe snd-card-ens1371
gives error "Unable to grab IRQ 0 or device busy"

modprobe snd-ens1371
gives no errors, and 'lsmod' after this says:

#cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards --

manipulating with card's parameters in modules.conf gives nothing..

I also tried to change sound card's PCI slot from 2 to 5,via 3 and 4,
after that manually switching IRQ for this slot in BIOS setup and
locking others slots IRQs..nothing :(

how can I set IRQ for soundcard manually ?
