Choose the driver that most probably suits your card.

In my case the 'key to the door' was hidden in the bios. I found that more than one driver would work.

I have a Compaq Presario 1245, K6-2 333, 160mb ram, 20 gig hdd, and ESS 1869 onboard audio. This is what I did to get my sound working great (all the time by the way):

To enable sound, simply run modconf (if you don't have it installed, get it through Xandros Networks) and select the sb module from
kernel/drivers/sound. Add these arguments to the dialog that appears:

io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5

The module should install successfully, and modconf updates everything
necessary to survive a reboot.

Go to the Sounds in the Control Panel and uncheck where it says Full Duplex. Restart, and everything works just fine.
