Hi, It is working currently, after changing the module to es1968 specifically in mdk control centre (which updated /etc/modules.conf)
David Bowie is playing a reasonable speed again :) JG J. Grant wrote:
Hi,
I am having problems getting perminant sound out of my laptop the spec
is as follows:
Laptop Adagio (38W2) Same as DELL Inspiron 7500 Purchased June 2001
ESS Technology ES1978 Maestro 2E (rev 10)
maestro: Configuring ESS Maestro 2E found at IO 0x1400 IRQ 7

From the bootup

Other than the funky dates this looks normal, my desktop has same access
permissions.
I did the following before starting X/KDE
[root@np850 root]# service alsa restart
Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.0rc2): [ OK ]
[root@np850 root]# service sound restart
Loading sound module (maestro) [ OK ]
Loading mixer settings [ OK ]
it is wierd that ALSA is just stoping and not restarting!! but anyway,
sound played, but it was aobut 20% faster than it should have been.
David Bowie suddenly sounded like the BeGees!
So I rebooted, started KDE, sound was not working, Xmms was not working
etc, i ssh'd in from another machine and did the same commands as
before, and its now playing at normal speed again! "There's a star man
waiting in the sky..."
So I have a rarther strange situation, I'm not sure how to make this
perminant, I could put the commands in rc.local, but it seems to only
work when I issue the commands afer X/KDE has started. Any ideas?
My laptop sound was working fine in 8.1.
Best regards
JG
