To get an ESS Solo-1 going in MDK 6.1
6.1 includes a module for the Solo-1 with its
default kernel. This is *all* you need to do:
As root I typed at the command line (in text mode,
I had not started X) "modprobe esssolo1.o" <enter>
case sensitive, the o at the end is lowercase letter
o, dont type the "quotemarks", <enter> means press
the enter key on your keyboard.
I then started X/KDE opened the sound mixer panel
to ensure it was working (it was), stuck in a cd,
& played it....
The Alsa drivers weren't necessary.
I think the important point is to load the module
*before* you start X.
If this sounds a bit patronising - sorry, I'm going
to post this somewhere else for a newbie.....
I actually sliced a GIG off M$ & reinstalled 6.1
because not knowing if it worked was annoying me....
BTW, 7.0 configures it automagically.....
