The below is a patch to improve the codec access routines in a bit more robust way (and clean-ups, too). Give it a try.
Thank you for taking this...
Landis, if it's easier for you due to webmail stuff, I'm attaching the patch to this message so that it might be easier for you to save it (Takashi posted it "inline" in the message).
The way to use this is very similar to what you did for the OSS driver patch. You save this somewhere, then from the root of the source tree (from /usr/src/linux-2.6.25.9 it was...) you do
# patch -p1 --dry-run < /some/where/ens1371-ac97.diff
and upon seeing that complete without errors, without the --dry-run:
# patch -p1 --dry-run < /some/where/ens1371-ac97.diff
Just in case... I did _say_ "without the --dry-run" but then neglected to actually delete it from the second line here. You _did_ delete it, right?
You then recompile the kernel with "make" (which should now only recompile the snd-ens1371 driver) and do a "make modules_install" after it finishes.
Then, make sure no old driver for the card is loaded:
# modprobe -r snd-ens1371 # modprobe -r es1371
and load the new one:
# modprobe snd-ens1371
then up and unmute volumes in alsamixer again and try if you have sound with "speaker-test" or "aplay foo.wav".
If you do, you should blacklist the now installed OSS es1371 driver (add "blacklist es1371" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist) and make sure snd-ens1371 is no longer blacklisted. If all's well, working sound should then survive a reboot (and a future kernel would include the fix autonmatically so things just work out of the box).
Off, Rene.
