Multimedia :: no sound fujitsu lifebook

bwh,

I don't know that this will help you at all... and I'm a noob with small hardware... but I have ben able to get an ESS1689 running under DSL. Mine is in a 10 year old Compaq laptop. It might be worth a try for you as well.

The console command that worked for me is:

Code Sample

modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

I learned about it from this thread: Sound on es1869

The key points are that you know what the BIOS settings for your card are. I was lucky, I had reset the BIOS to factory settings before trying the above and my values all lined up exactly as the thread told.

I hope this helps a little,
John

I think this worked... the volume shows up in d-mix. Now I just have to find a sound file to try... at any rate, it is at least closer to working.
