| Perhaps the name of the driver should be all lowercase? |

| I think the 4.1 Digital uses the ES1371 chipset, not 1373, so you should use ALSA_CARDS="ens1371". If it uses the 1373, is doesn't matter, they both use the 1371 driver. |

| did you use ALSA_CARDS="es1371" or ALSA_CARDS="ens1371"? the second one is right, note the 'n' in there. |

| If it still won't work, just compile alsa without ALSA_CARDS, it will take a little longer but at least it will compile. |

Hello
i emerged everything as you said. Everything goes well except one about this unresolvabel link. No idea what it means...
I did
emerge alsa-driver

Then i continued with the commamd
modules-update
And then i got this again:

The unresolved symbols is between the starfire nic card and the currently loaded kernel. You must have recompiled your kernel or made other changes to your modules without a reboot. You should be able to just reboot and the symbols error will go away.

Hi
Thank you all guys. I appreciate!
It works, fingers crossed: I am going to reboot and see if it still works (although i did a
/etc/init.d/alsasound start, I am atill an ex-XP user so i dont trust any OS yet, even not
lInux, Not yet at least) 
thanks again |
