[Trlog] SBDVP and compaq presario laptops?

Wed Jul 21 16:24:30 EDT 2004

I found this tidbit at http://www.boinklabs.com/library/cpq1690.html 
relating to the 1694 Laptop and Linux use.

Sound: ESS Technology Solo1 (ES1946)
     Groan... Previously not supported at all by OSS Lite (stock with 
Linux kernel). Supported by ALSA drivers, but kinda flaky, a real PITA 
to set up and not fully compatible with all that software out there 
written against the OSS interface. However, the latest Linux kernel 
(2.2.12) is supposed to support the Solo1 (esssolo1.o), but I have not 
yet been able to get it working. I'm working to resolve this with the 
module maintainer. Of course, you could just pay the $30-something for 
the OSS commercial ESS Solo1 driver... (www.4front-tech.com)

I found some drivers available for FTP from ftp.esstech.com under 
/pub/audio/pci/es1938-es1946. Unfortunately the "lowest" driver is for 
Win95. In the file 1165.zip there is a COM file which MAY BE something 
that would do you some good.
