Hi list, I am trying to get sound working on my Presario 305, it uses the ESS Maestro sound chip, it uses IRQ 11 shared with the USB controller and the TI cardbus controller (according to windoze). The OSS READMEs mention to disable in BIOS the other devices using the IRQ to enable the sound chip to work. The BIOS of course doesnt allow anything like this kind of functionality. IS there any hope? By the way everything else is working nicely on this cute little sub-notebook, wavelan PCMCIA, apm, X11 at 800x600x16k. Havent tried usb yet. Its PAO 3.4 by the way if it matters. If anyone has gotten this sound chip working with OSS and shared IRQs, Id be interested to hear the secret. If it sounds like a lost cause, Id like to know so I dont waste any more time on it. Would 4.0 help at all? TIA, Jon. PS the 305 has an intriguing built-in RJ45 ethernet connector on the side, but apparently it has no controller chip on board as nothing is recognized by FreeB or W9x. So enticing to have a notebook with built in 100bT. Anyone know what is the deal? Did Compaq pull back from installing built in LAN at the last minute?
