ESS1888 sound chip plays sounds half the speed (*dh)

Hi,

I have a problem with my HP Omnibook 800CT running SuSE Linux 7.0:

Every sound I play via /dev/dsp is played half the speed it should be
played.

I use the OSS sound blaster module (which is recommended for my
hardware).
SuSE 7.0 with kernel 2.2.18 (2.2.16 also tried - same result), Pentium
133, 24MB RAM, sound chip ESS1888.

Does anyone of you have an idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot
daniel hertrich

Yes, buy a new laptop :)
edit your modules.conf

# vi /etc/modules.conf

# This is an example sound section
alias sound-slot-0 sb
options sound dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
# CHANGE HERE!!!!  ADD esstype=1888
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330 esstype=1888

1. Solution to sound playing with half speed on soundblaster16-clone

Hi, newbie here. I had this weird problem as in the subject line, but
seemed to have solved it. Thought I would share cause there might be more
poor souls like me out there.

The solution turned to be adding an option in the /etc/modules.conf

options sb esstype=1688 io=0x220 irq=5 dma=0 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330

The option I added is "esstype=..."

Hope this helps somebody. Visit my linux newbie guide at:

Cheers.
