I've run dmesg, and the full output from it is here. The part that seems immediately relevant is: Soundblaster audio driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1994-1996 SB 3.01 detected OK (220) ESS chip ES1688 detected I had read that the ESS chip is sometimes incorrectly detected by sb, but my manual specifically lists the detected chip. In response to the question asked by Simon Eilting <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Why don't you use the kernel driver for the es1688 AudioDrive? I am saying this: What is its name? I haven't been able to find an obvious one, and this is with kernel 2.2.19, so I used sb.o as the HOWTO suggested. Thanks for any help, Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED]
