Description of Problem: The kernel module esssolo1 does not correctly work on the IBM Thinkpad 390x(2626-H0U) which has the ESS1969 chip according to kudzu. The only time it will correctly play a sound is when using the play command from a terminal window on a simple .wav file. When trying to play MP3's with XMMS(upgraded), the play command on some .wav files and videos the sound comes out slow and choppy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):kernel 2.4.18-14 How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH8.0 on an IBM Thinkpad 2. try to play most any sound format file 3. Actual Results:Bad sound output Expected Results:Good sound output Additional Information: This same system had Windows installed on it so I know that the hardware is good. I've tried to manually configure the /etc/modules.conf file with parameters such as "options esssolo1 irq=5" but I get an error message when reloading the module saying "invalid argument" or something like that. I've compiled the 2.4.19 kernel and get the same results.
I installed Quake 2 and the sound is fine. I am not sure now where the problem is. Whether it is in the xine and XMMS or the sound module.
