After compiling and installing the 2.4.1 kernel, everything was
going find, except the sound didn't work; doing anything sound
related would get me the error that "/dev/dsp" didn't exist.
I've upgraded to modutils 2.4.2, so I didn't think that was the
problem.  lsmod only showed the soundcore module as being loaded.

I did

  % cd /lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/sound
  % modprobe *.o

After this, the sound worked, but it was much too quite; with the
sound turned on at full, it was quieter than it had been at 1/4
power before.  lsmod now showed:

        Module                  Size  Used by
        es1371                 25008   0
        ac97_codec              7728   0 [es1371]
        soundcore               3984   4 (autoclean) [es1371]

And /proc/pci showed:

  Bus  0, device  12, function  0:
    Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 4).
      IRQ 9.
      Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=12.Max Lat=128.
      I/O at 0xef00 [0xef3f].

Also, sndconfig 0.57-1 gave me the error:

        Model: Unknown vendor|unknown  x                    
                           x device 1274:1371

Any help would be apreciated.

After upgrading to Linux kernel 2.4.1 (RedHat 6.1, i686), everything
worked fine, except that sound no longer worked; I simply got the
error "/dev/dsp: No such device".  I upgraded to modutils 2.4.2 before
doing the kernel upgrade, so it's not a modutils problem.

Looking at the output of lsmod, I saw that only the soundcore module
was loaded, so I did this as root:

  % cd /lib/modules/2.4.1/kernel/drivers/sound/
  % modprobe *.o

lsmod then showed the following:

        Module                  Size  Used by
        es1371                 25008   0  (unused)
        ac97_codec              7728   0  [es1371]
        soundcore               3984   4  (autoclean) [es1371]

Also, sound was now working, but it was too quiet; at full output, it
was quieter than it had previously been at 1/4 output.

Additional information:

/proc/pci gives:

  Bus  0, device  12, function  0:
    Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 4).
      IRQ 9.
      Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=12.Max Lat=128.
      I/O at 0xef00 [0xef3f].

And sndconfig version 0.57-1 gives:

        Model: Unknown vendor|unknown  x                    
                           x device 1274:1371

Any information would be appreciated.

I have an es1371. The relevant modules I'd have are :

es1371                 25360   1
soundlow                 464   0  (unused)
soundcore               2640   4  [es1371]

I don't know if I need soundlow - but I'd rmmod ac97_codec and see how you
get
on.
