Very Computer

Help me :::runs into linux vets:::

Well I need help with me sound card and modem. I have an AudioPCI for a
sound card and it will not work. I do not know if this is due to
changes, if any,  that gateway had the company do to it. The kernel is
compiled for AudioPCI support so I have no idea why it will not work.

My modem for some strang reason will not work on linux right now :( I
think it is due to the jumpers not being configured right on it but I am
not sure. It is a 3com U.S Robotics 56k Data/Fax/Voice v.90/x2 for an
ISA slot. It is not a winmodem :P

Please If any one can help out please do. I really want to make Linux my
prim OS and only use Windows when i have to. These two things are the
only thing keeping me from using linux for more then 2 or 3 hours a day.

Thanks for the help,

I have the same card.  I couldn't for my life get it configured under
RedHat5.1 running the 2.0.34 kernel, and I ended up (for other reasons,
I use very little sound after all) upgrading to the 2.2.1 kernel.
In this new kernel support for the ES1371 chipset is provided in the
kernel -- this will do the trick.  Note that your chipset may be ES1370
as well (which also has kernel support).

Hope this helps,
