Short version: Got one, doesn't work :-( Longer version: My new linux box has returned from its original birthplace in San Francisco (Micronux Computers) with a new mobo. The week old machine had quit on me a couple of times finally, on Jan 6, dropping out altogether.
Apparently it was a problem with the mobo, specifically the voltage supplied to the cpu and the memory. The original mobo was an Asus A7M266 which is a socket A board, DDR, 266 FSB, etc using the AMD761 chipset. The board had built in sound and it (the sound, not the board) worked fine. Micronux replaced the mobo with an Asus A7K266 which has the same config as the old board and a VIA 266 chipset instead of the AMD. It doesn't, however, have onboard sound, so Micronux put in an ESS Solo 1 Audiodrive card. sndconfig says "ESS Technology|ESS 1969 Solo 1 Audiodrive is not supported" Mandrake Control Center, hardware configuration, detects the card and indicates that it uses kernel module: snd-card-es1938. I selected the Solo 1 from the ESS list and tested it. Nada! lspcidrake tells me basically the same thing, i.e., recognizes the card and indicates the kernel module. Of course, I'm sure that there has been tons of messages about this over the last month or two. I've managed to lose stuff from the last several weeks on the transition including where the archives are :~ (. So should this card work? Is it a IRQ problem? TIA. Terry Smith Cape Cod USA
