Summary:                    ens1371 pcm not work in 2.6.11 kernel
Description: 
I'm using FC3 and my Creative SB AudioPCI 64V sound card works fine in 
2.6.10-1.770_FC3 kernel. After I replaced the kernel to 2.6.11 from
kernel.org or 2.6.11-1.8_FC3 from redhat, there is no sound anymore. I
noticed that the 2.6.11 kernel uses alsa 1.0.8 driver, yet userspace
alsa-lib and utility in fc3 are 1.0.6. So I upgrade them to 1.0.8 too.
Still, there is no sound and alsamixer doesn't show any pcm option.
Fortunately, the 1.0.8 lib and utility backward compatible with 1.0.6
driver in 2.6.10 kernel, so they were kept. The sound card uses ens1371
kernel module. And my /etc/modprobe.conf is this:

alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
alias sound-slot-0 snd-ens1371
install snd-ens1371 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ens1371 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactlrestore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-ens1371 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ens1371
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
alias eth0 8139too

Hi,

I am seeing the same behavior.

The sound card is a Creative Labs CT4730 (Ectiva EV1938 - PCI-ID
1102:8938)

Under stock kernel 2.6.10, the mixer works correctly and I can hear sounds
playing.  After upgrading to 2.6.11 or higher, the PCM channel is missing
from alsamixer.  Trying to play any sounds results in silence, and there
aren't any error messages.

I also tried the 1.0.9rc2 drivers, libs and utilities with the same
results.

What can I do to help debug this problem?

Mike
