According to:
| lspci -knn: 05:05.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: ESS Technology ES1969 Solo-1 Audiodrive [125d:1969] (rev 01)
| lspci -knn: Subsystem: ESS Technology Device [125d:8888]
and <http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/index.rhtmlx>, the module snd-es1938.ko
should be used. But it's does not appear to be loaded. I don't know
whether the Linux kernel or alsa is faulty here, though.
