Joseph,
This might not help too much, but I had sound problems on a Compaq
Armada 7400, which has the ESS 1789 sound card. This was under
FreeBSD, and I could not get any sound until I explictly set the
device characteristics, viz:
device sbc0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15
I'm not sure how one does the equivalent on Debian, but trying it may
be worth a punt.
