Hi there,

    I thought that I would tell of my sound settings on my ancient Compaq Presario  1240.  I investigated the bios setting and found that irq=5 and dma=1 were being used.  After fooling around with those settings, all I got  was stuttering nonsense.  
 Finally, I went back to the bios and changed the settings to irq=7 and dma=3,
 (other dma to dma=1).  I then opened a console as root and typed:

      modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=3 mpu_io=0x330 esstype=1868

and it all works great!  I added the line to the bootlocal.sh  file and it now loads automatically when I boot from my USB pendrive.  

  PS. Also Windows reports the ess audiodrive chip as 1869
 :D
