Here is my negative progress! I quessed that snd-card-ens1371 might be the |
2 |
correct driver. As commented earlier snd-card-sb16 would not load on my |
3 |
system but snd-card-ens1371 does load. However when running amixer I have an |
4 |
error message "The ALSA sound driver was not detected on this system". I |
5 |
then when to Creative.com Asia (no good) then when to Creative.com USA --> |
6 |
Soundblaster.com/support and entered the Model number CT4810. Oh my card is |
7 |
"Sound Blaster Ensoniq AudioPCI". Got that wrong! But should be a ESxxxx |
8 |
chip and it is a CT5880-DCQ chip? Looked for a Linux Driver "Sorry no driver |
9 |
at this time for Ensoniq AudioPCI"! Does anyone know a ALSA developer who |
10 |
would know whether a driver is due or of any alternative driver that might |
11 |
work on my SoundBlaster Model CT4810? |

Thanks for your replies. |
