Comment:
I have an ESS es1869 Audiodrive card installed in my computer. It works well under M$Win, but it is complete and totaly mute under linux. Once I tryed a kind of howto to make it work, but I am novice in linux and probably made a mistake! There is still no sound under linux! Can anyone help me!!

If you're using a version of RedHat or Mandrake linux, you gain acces to sound cards by loadable modules. To configure, type 'sndconfig' logged in as root. This should detect, test, and configure your card to load at boot time. Caldera linux from version 2.3 onwards should autodetect your card during installation. I'm not sure about other distributions such as SuSe or Slackware, as they all handle audio, scsi devices etc.. differently.
Good luck wardy

use pnptools (isapnp) to configure it first, then use sound blaster drivers in the kernel.
