How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure the sound (which goes ok)
2. use mpg123 or play to produce any sound

Additional info:

Try adding the 'esstype=1888' module command line parameter.

Comment 2 cold forged 2001-08-12 18:15:46 UTC

I tried that, but still it doesn't work. :(

I don't know if this is related but on my via686a soundcard on a K7-500MHz
running Roswell, the sound is playing a little fast. It is quite noticable when
playing mpeg movies using plaympeg. The sound becaomes unsynchronized and ends
long before the video.
Playing the same mpegs under previous versions of 7.x seemed to be OK though.

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2002-01-24 05:40:01 UTC

The problem with the ESS chip is a driver detection issue; you can try
esstype=(any of 688,1688,1788,1888) to see if it improves it.
