esssolo1 - es1938

[Shao Zhang <shao@linuxfreak.com>]

Hi,
	I just bought a new IBM Thinkpad. And I have some problems with
	the sound card.

	I saw that kernel has an experimental driver for it. I have
	compiled it, and it seems working fine. The only problem is that
	it is not loud enough. When I use it in windoze, it is much
	louder :(.

	Has anyone else tried out ALSA? Will it work better than the
	kernel one? I have had a go on ALSA 0.5.6. Follow all the
	instructions, and the modules seem inserted ok. Here is the cat
	/proc/modules output:

	snd-es1938             12520   0 (unused)
	snd-pcm                28824   0 [snd-es1938]
	snd-timer               7840   0 [snd-pcm]
	snd-mixer              22704   0 [snd-es1938]
	snd                    34380   0 [snd-es1938 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer]
	ltmodem               453168   1
	ppp                    19596   2
	slhc                    4300   1 [ppp]
	soundcore               2328   4 [snd]
	ntfs                   34748   1

	However, cat /proc/asound/cards still says --- no soundcards ---


	Thanks for any help in advance.
Regards,


Shao.
