snd1 is what you need (at least my 128pci which is a es1370).
So that's OK too.

Did you check the volumes with mixer? My pci128 has initially set
everything to zero...

Looks good IMO.

For some reason that's normal, I've read about it but don't remember
where, possibly the mailing list. My /dev/sndstat also shows the zeros
for the pci128, however it shows the 'real' values for the vibra16x 
(an ISA pnp soundcard).

AFAIK, pnpinfo is for ISA cards and won't find any PCI cards.

If it's not the volume set to zero, I don't know what it could be. Do you
get any error messages while trying to use the card?

Good luck,

Karel.
