My notebook, a Compaq Presario 1260, has the "ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive" chipset for audio. RHL 9 (and prior versions) do not autodetect this audio device, and the ES1869 is not among the options that can be selected from in the list of audio drivers. I can get audio output from the ES1869 if I specify that I have a SoundBlaster-compatible device. I have very high CPU utilization, though, with this option during playback so I'm hoping for a more specific solution. What is the best audio configuration I can get given this hardware? Thanks.
