Dear Wayne,
I have got my sound working on my laptop (presario 1685) with Mandrake 7.0
I also uses ESS SOLO-1. In the past I have been trying to use alsa-driver
without any success, but with Mandrake 7.0 the sound is working without
doing any modification/addition.
My lucent winmodem is now also working with a driver from :

Hope this help.
