Ok I've tried all I can think of as well as anything I could find
with google. Has anyone been able to get an SB 128PCI sound
card to work with Slack-9.1?

I have tried getting it to work with the stock kernel as well as
a custom compiled kernel with & without module support, and still
no luck.

Also has anyone else noticed a little bit of a delay when using
gnome-terminal and either typing or using SHIFT+PAGEUP/DOWN to
scroll?

I have this card working in 9.1 and older versions of Slack. Having said
that, there does seem to be several versions of this card.

What modules have you tried? Is your card detected at boot?

In older (non-hotplug) versions of Slack, I was able to get the card
working by doing a 'modprobe es1371'. Some people needed to load es1370
instead with this card. In 9.1 with hotplugging, this card is detected
automatically for me. It looks like the snd-ens1371 module is loaded for
this card. Maybe modprobing that will work for you? BTW sound is mute by
default in 9.1. You can use alsmixer to set the volume want and then
alsactl store for them to be saved for next boot.

FWIW, alsamixer says this about about my SB 128PCI.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't here, I might have had to turn the volume up
(can't recall) but I'm positive I didn't unmute it.

It uses the es1370 module. When I run alsaconf I get an error
message that says "No PnP or PCI card found" which is strange
since it is a PCI card. I'm beginning to think I should have
stayed with Slack-9.0 until all the bugs were worked out.

When I run "alsamixer" I get the error message below.


----------------------
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
------------------------
It appears that something is screwed up somewhere.
The card works if I boot into Slack-9.0 so it isn't a defective
card.

I got similar error messages when I tried running alsaconf with my OSS
modules loaded. If I recall, doing a modprobe -r soundcore esssolo1
prior to running alsaconf fixed things. I had to add the appropriate
line to etc/hotplug/blacklist so that the OSS module wouldn't be
reloaded in future. (The line was in the blacklist.new file I just
copied it over.)

FWIW, that *really* doesn't look like an alsa module name.

See how they all start with snd_?

It looks (to me, anyway) like you're loading up an OSS module and trying
to treat it as an alsa module. Check out the Soundcard Matrix for info
on getting your card working with Alsa at www.alsa-project.org. Work
from there... or revert back to OSS modules and use the OSS utilities
instead of the Alsa utilities.

Hi,
In order to get my SB 16 PCI card working, (besides insuring that my
sound module was loaded) I had to add my user name to the SYS group and
execute the following command:
chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi
If you haven't done that already, it might be worth a try.
Good Luck!
Sedge

Thanks to all who replied. I ended up removing alsa and making a
SlackBuild script out of the "esound.build" script and
recompiling esound so now I have sound again. I'm still at a loss
as to why I was getting the error messages though.

When I ran alsaconf I got this one:
No PnP or PCI card found

When I ran alsamixer I got this one:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

When you don't have ALSA drivers loaded, ALSA utilities won't work.
