I have an Ensoniq Audio PCI soundcard on various machines. However, on one machine, this card is giving me a lot of problems. All three machines are spec'd differently. The one I have problems with is running RH 6.2 kernel 2.2.14-5.0smp. I run sndconfig and it finds: A PCI sound card was found in your system. The details are: Model: Ensoniq|ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] When the system tries to play a sample audio clip the following error occurs: The following error occurred running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed Any suggestion as to what is causing this error and how it can be fixed. Thanks

Hi; Before the modprobe, lsmod should show you if the sound driver is already loaded. I have the same card and it works with alsasound driver. There's alternative to enable kernel drivers in /etc/modules.conf, too. And make sure that sound is enabled in the kernel configuration. If you still have trouble, read /proc/interrupts or /proc/pci for conflicts. Also read /var/log/messages. Leave your email, so I can send my setup info to you. good luck

Since I posted this last message, I have found out that my PCI 128 card does not use the es1371 chipset. This card uses the ct5880-DBQ chipset. Model of the carrd is CT4750 which is not part of the PCI 128 family but the Live family of cards. I have tried using the ALSA drivers without any luck. Creative also have a couple of Beta drivers out there, but they are not for the SMP Kernel. Still giving errors similar to above. I will take a look at conflicting irq's and so forth. But is there any new suggestions with regards to this new information. Thanks Tel.

hi; I never used an SMP kernel. It could be the issue or not, but did you try the OSS drivers or one of the kernel's /etc/modules? Try searching Redhat's knowledge base for different tricks, first. good luck

I have an Ensoniq Audio PCI soundcard on my machine. However this card is giving me a lot of problems. The problems with is running RH 7.0 kernel 2.2.16-22. I run sndconfig and it finds: A PCI sound card was found in your system. The details are: Model: Ensoniq|ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] When the system tries to play a sample audio clip the following error occurs: The following error occurred running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed Any suggestion as to what is causing this error and how it can be fixed. I have even tried to use the alsa sound drivers and that is also not able to make any difference at all. Thanks

HI, I have the same soundcard, and cannot ge the card to work for the life of me!! I get the same error message as the other 2,.......A PCI sound card was found in your system. The details are: Model: Ensoniq|ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] When the system tries to play a sample audio clip the following error occurs: The following error occurred running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0smp/misc/es1371.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed I'm running Mandrake 7.2 and cannot solve this problem. I was happy to know that at least my card was compatible, but it doesn't even work. If anyone can help me get sounds i would appreciate it very much!!! Jason

I had some success with I think kernel 2.2.17 and OSS/Lite ALSA 0.5.9something. I have NO success with ALSA and kernel 2.4.0 yet
