Hi Everyone,
I have a Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] sound card (built in) and I am unable to get any sound with it. At first I thought the media players were bad or my sound was mute but that was not the case. Here's some information related to my system:

e) cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp produces no sound.
Does someone have a clue regarding this? I have been stuck with this for a week now.
Are there any other tests that I can do to narrow down the problem?
I also tried loading freebsd (just to see if there was a kernel issue) and that also did not work (though I think freebsd also uses alsa). I have also tried recompiling my kernel with only oss support but the es1371 module also did not make a difference.
Thanks for all your help
