Hi. Sorry,I ususally do leave my posts intact. My problem was that I didn not have sound on a laptop that used an ess solo-1 audio chip. I thought I needed to add the essolo1.o.gz module from the /lib directory and I couldn't modprobe it. However,it turns out that I actually needed to configure alsa properly. To do this,I did

Code:

modprobe snd-es1938

I then did

Code:

alsamixer

and set the levels to what they needed to be. After that, I did

Code:

alsactl store

and then rebooted. I hope that helped,and I will be sure to leave my posts intact in the future.
