You do not need to recompile the kernel, you need the appropriate binary firmware blob. Get the firmware package ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/firmware/alsa-firmware-1.0.16.tar.bz2 and run ./configure && make && make install After this you should have the following files present: /lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_kernel.fw /lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_minisrc.fw Then, run rmmod snd_maestro3 and modprobe snd_maestro3 again.
