<font face="Arial">Does anyone know what my next step might be if my
elive gem installation is not even recognising that there is a sound
card onboard? (lspci -v returns all the harware except the sound
card). Not surprisingly alsaconf then does not see it either. The
module that I know works with it is module es1688. According to the
originator(s) of elive gem the whole system comprises of a fairly
unmodified debian with enlightenment desktop on top.<br>
<br></font></div>I downloaded elive_gem-1.0 (stable) via the torrent on distropedia to give it a test drive on an old laptop as that also has an ess sound card. It loaded all the sound modules automatically including snd_es1968 and I got the intro music as soon as the desktop loaded and xmms can play mp3's and mplayer works too. Have you tried the different boot options and make sure you have the stable release and it may pay to even reburn the CD in case it has some corruption. I'm running off the live CD as I type and it's looks quite impressive and has some unusual desktop animations.
