I have a DELL Latitude XPi 133ST notebook PC. According to the
documentation, it has a "ES1888" soundcard. I have tried the VOXWARE
driver, Luigi's pcm driver, and the ESS-specific pcm driver[0]. None
of them have worked.
Does anyone have this card working (c'mon, there's gotta be more than
one of these notebooks out there)?
I am running a straight (non-PAO) 3.4-STABLE on the notebook. I can
get each of the driver sets to find the card (the only modification is
that it is at 0x230 rather than 0x220[1]), but none can work it. Here
is the dmesg and an attempt at use for each,
VOXWARE:
sb0 at 0x230 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
Hmm... Could this be an ESS688 based card (rev 11)
snd0: <SoundBlaster Pro 3.1>
sbxvi0 not found
sbmidi0 not found at 0x330
opl0 at 0x388 on isa
snd0: <Yamaha OPL3 FM>
% cat sound.au > /dev/audio
SoundBlaster: DSP Command(0xd3) timeout. IRQ conflict ?
Luigi's:
pcm0 at 0x230 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
ESS1868 (rev 11)
% cat sound.au > /dev/audio
timeout flushing dbuf_out, chan 1 cnt 0x7414 flags 0x00000441
ESS-specific:
pcm0 at 0x230 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
ESS Chip (rev 11, 5959, native mode)
% cat sound.au > /dev/audio
timeout flushing dbuf_out, chan 1 cnt 0x7414 flags 0x00000441
Hmmm... Last two look similar, no?
Anyway, the card did work on the Win98 that came on the HDD before I
nuked it, and the card was at IRQ 5 in Windows.
Any advice? Thanks.
[0] Apparently these are some PAO mods to the sys/isa/snd for ESS that
can stand alone.

[1] I found this trick in the mail archives. Some fella was trying to
get one of these cards working almost exactly a year ago.
