Hehe. I have an ESS Solo1 and was having the very same problem. In my case, the only way to get it working at all was to build sound support and the ess solo1 (oss) driver into the kernel. THEN I was running into the "cup overload" thing. What I did, by trial and error (I tried just about everything else and by process of elimination and desperation...), was go into kcontrol -> sound-> mixer and set the max number of probed mixers and max numbers of devices each to 1. Since doing this I have not run into the cpu overload problem.
Incidently, if you open up kcontrol after the message appears and restart the soundserver, it comes back up until something gets it all crazy again later and the cpu overload message reappears. Anyway, try what I mention above - perhaps your problem will go away as did mine. praedor On Tuesday 29 January 2002 09:06 am, Robert Goshko wrote: > Greetings all, > > I had my sound working under Mandrake 8.1, and now when I log into > KDE, everything comes up, and then I get a message: > > sound server fatal error > cpu overload, aborting > > I have not been able to fix the problem. > > HardDrake can see my sound card, ESS Technology, model ES1968 Maestro > 2 (I have a Dell Inspiron 7000).
