Sound modules

Hi all,

I've been attempting to get sound running after a system - reinstall (Mandrake 
9.1).  It's not a really happenning thing at the moment, however.

Here's a printout of the various parameters:

### Which driver does the card use by default ?  lspcidrake -v | fgrep AUDIO 

es1371          : Ensoniq|ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:1274 
device:1371) 

### Which driver does it currently use ?   grep sound-slot /etc/modules.conf 
alias sound-slot-0 es1371 

### Is the module (driver) loaded or not ?   /sbin/lsmod

### Are the sound services configured to be run on initlevel3 ?  
/sbin/chkconfig --list sound 
sound          	0:off	1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off 

### Are the alsa services configured to be run on initlevel3 ?  
/sbin/chkconfig --list alsa 
alsa           	0:off	1:off	2:off	3:off	4:off	5:off	6:off 

### Is the sound volume muted or not ?   aumix -q 
aumix:  error opening mixer 

### Which program uses the soundcard ?   /sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp 
/dev/dsp: No such file or directory 

Also, when I run sndconfig 0.68, I get the following:

#######################
PCI Probe Results

A PCI sound card was found in your system.  The details are:

	Model: Ensoniq|ES1371 [AudioPCI-97]
#######################

 . . . and then . . . . .

#######################
Sound Card Test

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

#######################

 . . . and then . . . . .

#######################
The following error occurred running the modprobe program:

/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o.gz: init_module: No 
such device
modprobe: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o.gz failed
modpobe: insmod sound-slot-0 failed
#######################

This is despite es1371.o.gz being "present and accounted for" at the very same 
directory that sndconfig says it is absent from.

How do I go about getting the sound module to load ?

Any suggestions as to whether this is the limit of the problem, or whether the 
above info indicates another problem, would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Andrew Lord
