    OSS works but would prefer ALSA

    /var/log/boot=
    Code:
    modprobe: WARNING: Not loading blacklisted module snd_ens1371
    Code:
    Setting up ALSA...warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: load_state:1327: No soundcards found...'...done.
    lspci=
    Code:
    02:0b.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs Ectiva EV1938
    Sound works in OSS but would prefer ALSA so I can voice chat in Skype. And I just bought this card because it gets 100% positive reviews at LinuxQuestions HCL!

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Errm, you are a bit vague about your problem here, did you already install ALSA ?

    If not you should do:
    apt-get install alsa-core

    And after that run "alsaconf " from terminal, maybe you can post the output here...

    Thanks, geniuz. Yes, ALSA has been installed and ALSACONF has been run. Here's the output of ALSACONF:
    Code:
    Terminating processes: 8882.
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-ens1371 snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec snd-ac97-bus snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-page-alloc.
Building card database...


Running update-modules...
Loading driver...
Setting default volumes...


===============================================================================

 Now ALSA is ready to use.
 For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

 Have a lot of fun!
    Thank you for your help.

    Best regards,

    Hrm...no error messages so it means the driver should be set up correctly.
    Might sound stupid, but try running "alsamixer" in a terminal and make sure EVERYTHING is unmuted....

    Thank you, Geniuz. Yes, I'm aware one should always use ALSAMIXER and I've done that...all settings nominal, no mutes, still no sound. Thank you for your suggestion. Best regards,

    Hrm, I've got no idea further..sorry I couldn't help you buddy.
    Maybe your sound card isn't supported by ALSA, although that seems very unlikely...

    Thanks, geniuz. Even upgraded kernel to latest version and still no joy. Oh well, I'll keep fiddling with it and see what comes up. Thanks for your concern.
