[Alsa-user] ESS Technology ES1983S Maestro-3i PCI

[John Carlyle-C. <jo...@wo...>]

Hi-

I have a Dell Latitude C600 with the above audio hardware.  Alsa 
recognises it, but I cannot get any actual sound to come out.  I've 
tried the headphone socket, and I've tried all the settings in 
alsamixer.  I've also tried change the amp_gpio parameter to the module.

for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f; do sudo rmmod snd_maestro3; 
sudo modprobe snd_maestro3 "amp_gpio=0x0$i"; sleep 10; echo $i; sudo 
alsactl restore; aplay -l; aplay pick.wav; done

Still nothing!

I'm stuck.  Does anyone have this hardware working, and if so, did you 
have to do anything special?

Thanks in advance,

    John
