soundblaster pci 128 on mandrake 8.1

[Mr Myaghi]

Soundblaster pci 128 is not in the list of drivers in mandrake 8.1 It suggests that I use Ensoniq ES1370[audio pci]
I'm using mandrake 8.1, is there any way to fix this???

The es1370 module is correct for the SB-128. It's the same card that I have though I've read that certain chipsets on the 128 use the es1371 instead.

Mine works fine with

es1370 25792 1
soundcore 3428 4 [es1370]
gameport 1484 0 [es1370]

modules loaded.

[Mr Myaghi]

the ES1370 is the only card where mandrake says it works but there is no sound. Maybe the problem is somewhere else?

[bdg1983]

If the sound does not work for a normal user, then try

chmod 666 /dev/dsp

and also make sure the volumes are adjusted correctly in the mixer.

My vibra 128 uses the es1371 module. All SB pci 128's use either the es1370 or es1371 because creative made these cards with an ensoniq chip.
