The Compaq4120 has an es1788 sound set.
Pentium120 with 48meg mem. Hd-installed with 300meg of disk and an 80meg swap.
DSL runs great; but no sound.
Tried the modprobe sb command and got some very choppy sound. but on re-boot it was gone again.
did a modprobe -c and it says that its looking at sb as having irq=7 (it really is 5). where is this entry so I can change it?
How else can I get sound up and running?
TNX in advance and 73'3

Try:

sudo rmmod sb
sudo modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5

and see if it works.

You can try tweaking the io memory location, irq, and dma settings until things work.
