Hi,

I have a Soundblaster PCI 128 sound card installed on my PC
running under RedHat 6.1.

When I use sndconfig to configure the sound card, I get:

A PCI sound card was found in
your system. The details are:
Model: Ensoniq|ES1371
[AudioPCI-97]

Then:

A sound sample will now be played to
determine if your sound card has been
correctly configured.

But ... nothing happened ! the prompt is blocked.
I typed ctrl+c to stop sndconfig.

Looking into /etc/conf.modules, I read:

alias sound es1371

Well, now rebooting the PC, I get:

.
.
.
Loading sound module [ok]
.
.
.

From dmesg, I get:

es1371: version v0.13 time 19:57:53 Oct 25 1999
es1371: found adapter at io 0xb800 irq 5
es1371: features: joystick 0x0
es1371: codec vendor  revision 0
es1371: codec features none
es1371: stereo enhancement: no 3D stereo enhancement

At this point, no error seems to be occured, but it
still doesn't work, when trying: 

cat somefile.au > /dev/audio

nothing happens, it blocks.

Can anyone help me

Thanks.

Regards.

			Gilberto.
