I don't have an ES1888 card, but... ,----[ kernel-source-2.4.7/Documentation/sound/ESS ] | Documentation for the ESS AudioDrive chips | | In 2.4 kernels the SoundBlaster driver not only tries to detect an ESS chip, it | tries to detect the type of ESS chip too. The correct detection of the chip | doesn't always succeed however, so unless you use the kernel isapnp facilities | (and you chip is pnp capable) the default behaviour is 2.0 behaviour which | means: only detect ES688 and ES1688. | | All ESS chips now have a recording level setting. This is a need-to-have for | people who want to use their ESS for recording sound. | | Every chip that's detected as a later-than-es1688 chip has a 6 bits logarithmic | master volume control. | | Every chip that's detected as a ES1887 now has Full Duplex support. Made a | little testprogram that shows that is works, haven't seen a real program that | needs this however. | | For ESS chips an additional parameter "esstype" can be specified. This controls | the (auto) detection of the ESS chips. It can have 3 kinds of values: | | -1 Act like 2.0 kernels: only detect ES688 or ES1688. | 0 Try to auto-detect the chip (may fail for ES1688) | 688 The chip will be treated as ES688 | 1688 ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ES1688 | 1868 ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ES1868 | 1869 ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ES1869 | 1788 ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ES1788 | 1887 ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ES1887 | 1888 ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ES1888 | | Because Full Duplex is supported for ES1887 you can specify a second DMA | channel by specifying module parameter dma16. It can be one of: 0, 1, 3 or 5. | `---- So... It seems like you want the SoundBlaster driver (sb.o I think), and maybe add an esstype parameter. Of course, this is for kernel 2.4. Anyone know about 2.2?
