ESS1878
Hello. I have recently acquired a fairly old laptop (Compaq Armada 1590DMT; Pentium 166MMX, 16mb ram, etc). I currently run Debian Woody on it, and am using the 2.4.5 kernel. I am attempting to get sound working on this machine. According to Compaq, this machine uses an ESS1878 sound chip. I didn't see that option in menuconfig, but a grep of the kernel source does make it seem like it can be supported. However, I don't have the foggiest idea how. It doesn't showup if I do a 'pnpdump', and I don't see anything in /proc/pci that looks familar either.
Where do I begin?

Try using the sb driver. Worked for me on my Lifetec LT 9888 notebook.
Also try searching the web for information about your laptop. -
