[Alsa-user] es1371+rh8+alsa-0.9.0.rc5 on a Gateway box

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi there,

I've a Gateway Performence 1300 (Pentium4 CPU 1.3GHz) with a 
Creative Technology's ES1373 Audio PCI 0123 sound card (identified by
the kernel as Ensoniq ES1371) running RedHat 8. Since the stock
driver comes with the kernel never works for my card, even it has
been listed as supported for years, so I decided to try ALSA out.

I built ALSA from source, in the following order
	alsa-driver-0.9.0rc5 (
		configure
		--with-isapnp=no 
		--with-sequencer=yes 
		--with-oss=yes 
		--with-cards=ens1371)
	alsa-lib-0.9.0rc5
	alsa-utils-0.9.0rc5
	alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1
after a few try-and-error, everything built and installed. 
Then I config'ed my card with alsaconf found in alsa-driver-0.9.0rc5/utils
which happily said "Now ALSA is ready to use...Have a lot of fun!" :-)

So I fired aplay to play /usr/share/sounds/generic.wav and heard nothing
but "the sound of silence" :-(

Undetered, I reboot the machine and ran "alsasound start" and made sure
all ALSA driver modules are loaded, try aplay again and still no sound.
(also tweaked alsamixer a few times, none has any effect)

Enclosed is my setup, can someone give me a hint? (this same card works
fine under WindowME)

I did read every alsa documents, FAQ and even searched through mail 
archives, but found no clue.
