Some kind of ESS chip

Some kind of ESS chip

[Can Bican]

	Hello,

	I have an IBM PC 300 GL, with Mandrake 6.1 installed. It has an
on-board kind of sound chip, and the pre-installed Windows 98 was using a
kind of ESS driver for this. On the chip, exactly the following is
printed:
	ESS
	ES1930S	F439
	TTUB3265V
	(P)4, 214, 125 (C)
	
	Ok, granted, it's an ESS, but what about 1930S? I haven't happened
to such a chipset anywhere. Expectedly, I've not been able to get it to
work, tried all ess modules along with sb and mss modules. I wonder if it
is really a new (or odd) chipset that no drivers for Linux exist, or am I
missing something?

	Regards...

	Hello,

	Something new: sndconfig of Mandrake 7.0 says that it is not
supported. By the way, I also tried those (ES1938) drivers, but
frustration. As long as I know, this computer is a low cost promotion-type
computer of IBM, and if I am not wrong (that this card is not supported),
you should plug another PCI sound card to this to make sound in Linux. It
even hasn't got an ISA slot!
	Anyway, I'll try once more ES1938, but it hadn't worked...

	Regards.
