Hi,
I still dont get the sound configured. It appears that I have a CMI 8330
3D Audio Adapter and a ESS 1869 (two sound cards???!?!?) in the same machine.
My Ethernet card only wants to work in IRQ 5 that is the recommended IRQ
for ESS1868 kernel documentation.
If anyone has a sound card like please write for me with your
isapnp.conf and /etc/modules.
Thanks, Paulo Henrique
