Can anyone offer some advice on the Maestro3.

Trying to install a Magic I/O PCI card using ESS ES1988 Allegro-1 chipset
under redhat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.7-10.

ALSA drivers/libs and utils all compile fine. Modprobe works fine and module
appears to load into the kernel without error.

ALSAmixer recognizes the module and all volumes increased and channels unmuted
without problem. Also tried an array of other ALSA aware mixers including
gamix all with no apparent problems. However, I cannot get any sound out
of this device at all.

Tried with ALSA 0.5xx and 0.9xxbeta
It seems per the latest INSTALL file that the snd_amp_gpio setting could
be the culprit. I have tried multiple settings now including:

-1 (default), 0, 1, 8, 13, 14

Nothing seems to change the silence. I have tried changing the external_amp
setting from 1 to 0 also with no results.

Does anyone have experience with this, or does anyone have any more ideas
for things to try.

Extracts of modules.conf and /proc/asound/sndstat are included below.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew B.
