Hi. I'm trying to install ALSA on my gentoo system, with my Sounblaster PCI 128 soundcard. However when I try to load the ALSA module, I get the following error:
Code:
Starting sound driver: snd-ens1371 /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r1/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1371.o: init_module: No such device

The system finds my card and knows it's there as is shown by dmesg or the lspci. An interrupt an IO ports are assigned to the card, but ALSA can't find it.

Does anyone have any hints on how to solve this problem? Am I doing something stupid, or missing out a simple step? Or at least help on how I can go about debugging this more effectively.

Thanks in advance.

I think I may have found the problem. When do a
Code:
cat /proc/ioports

I get
Code:
cc00-cc3f : Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97]
  cc00-cc3f : es1371

as part of the listing. I presume this means a module is loaded for my kernel already. And the reason it didn't show up in lsmod is because I actually compiled it into the kernel of my first compile. So when just I followed the ALSA guide and only recompiled the modules, .... you get the idea. That's my latest thought anyway. I'll try a recompile of my kernel now, hopefully that will fix it.
