Not exactly a match but here is a direction to try.  I had an ES1788 AudioDrive that was giving me fits and finally got success with this:

modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 esstype=1788

then when it worked I added it to /ope/bootlocal.sh to load at each boot.  Your information will be different but with the right values it will likely work.

It's same values (but esstype=1878) and it's working!  :D
thanks a lot. :)

My Compaq Armada SB (like a 1592*) has an ES1878.  You can use either the sb module or the Alsa snd_es18xx or snd_sb16 modules.

modprobe sb dma16=5 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330 dma=1 irq=5
modprobe opl3 io=0x388

or Alsa (not all of these options are needed):

modprobe snd_es18xx enable=1 isapnp=0 port=0x220 mpu_port=0x330 dma1=1 dma2=5 irq=5 fm_port=0x388

or (not tested well because I use snd_es18xx):

modprobe snd_sb16 port=0x220 mpu_port=0x330 irq=5 dma8=1 dma16=5

I have a laptop with 9.2 DSL on an HD install.  I used modprobe sb i/o=0x220 dma=5 irq=1.  I get sound okay but it is choppy and seems to stutter.  Any  ideas on a fix for this issue.  

Thanks in Advance
