Subject: ES1869 Sound Config Trouble ( was: Trouble configuring sound on
a Compaq Presar

Hey all!
Thanks for the help so far, but I have some issues concering the configuration. Hopefully together we can figure it out.
I have searched through the archives (questions, hardware, multimedia) using ES1869 is my seach phrase and found some interesting stuff, but no concrete answers.
I did some LINT reading and found something to add t the kernel config (options PNPBIOS), then I recompiled and rebooted. This time it got dectected, so it seems I'm getting closer to sloving this problem. Although I don't think it's fully working. When I try to cat ding.wav | /dev/dsp I get this message "/dev/dsp: Permission denied". Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I'm not sure.
Also, after the addition of the "options PNPBIOS" line I got interesting output in dmesg. Here it is: (the rest could be supplied if needed)
unknown: <PNP0400> can't assign resources
unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources
sbc0: <ESS ES1869 (Compaq OEM)> at port 0x220-0x22f,0x388-0x38b,0x330-0x331 irq 5 drq 1,3 on isa0
pcm0: <ESS 18xx DSP> on sbc0
esscontrol0: <ESS Control> at port 0x268-0x26f on isa0
unknown: <PNP0000> can't assign resources
unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources
unknown: <PNP0f13> can't assign resources
I remember reading in the manpage for pcm that there are some "bridge drivers" which I really didn't understand. I guess the sbc0 would be the bridge driver. I'm not sure if I should add that to my kernel config file. After re-reading the pcm man page and the LINT kernel config file it would appear so, but maybe someone can clarify that for me.
Also, what the heck are the unknown: devices that seem to be found? Should I worry about those messages?
Here is the full kernel config file that has gotten me this far. I'm gonna do some more recompiling to see which options does the trick.

Just for further information purposes, here is the output of a 'cat /dev/sndstat':

Installed devices:
pcm0: <ESS 1869 DSP> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:3 (1p/1r channels)
I believe that's all the information I have thus far. I'm going to continue playing with the kernel configuration to see if I can get the dang thing working. Once I get it working, I'll post my kernel config file in hopes that it might help someone out in the future.
TIA,
Joey
