I am trying to install a ess1869 sound card. and I have read in allot of place
|
||
that the card works with linux but I cannot find the modual that looks right
|
||
for it.... I want to know where I can download the modual for the ess1869
|
||
sound card.. and is there a site that is dedicated to linux moduals and
|
||
drivers so I can download others from there when needed?
|
||
</STRONG></P>

|
||
Linux does indeed support ESS sound cards, including the ESS1869.
|
||
Unfortunately, your question, as phrased, is impossible to answer -
|
||
modules are not "downloaded", they are created as part of the kernel
|
||
compilation. Chances are high that your "stock" kernel comes with the
|
||
necessary modules; if not, recompiling the kernel is not a difficult
|
||
process. See the Kernel-HOWTO.

|

When you say that you "cannot find the modual that looks right for it",
|
||
what do you mean? I'm not aware of any physical characteristics that would
|
||
make a module "look wrong" - what criteria are you using? In any case, the
|
||
module that "looks right" to me, in this case, is 'sb', the SoundBlaster
|
||
module. I would suggest downloading my
|
||
"<a href="../misc/tips/shotgun.bash.txt">shotgun</a>" script that was published
|
||
in the current issue of LG as "2-cent tip - module resource detection"
|
||
and running it with 'sb' as a parameter; if one of the listed switches is
|
||
"esstype", then ESS support is compiled in, and you simply need to load
|
||
'sb' (as well as the modules that are necessary to support it.) In case of
|
||
problems, I would suggest reading the extensive comments in the source
|
||
code (<TT>/usr/src/linux/drivers/sound/sb_ess.c</TT>) Hint: search for the word
|
||
'esstype'.
