Thorough discussion of ESS configuration here -

And some extra information since you are dual-booting (as I am); the Linux OSS sb module may "misbehave" (play sound too fast for example) if the sound chip is first initialised by a Window$ driver.
The solution is to fully power-down, before booting into Linux.
