Don't know that you did anything "wrong" as such, that's all I've ever 
done (well, since the driver went into the tree).

I notice that my Maestro attaches at a different address to yours, but I 
don't know how significant that is:

Preloaded elf module "snd_pcm.ko" at 0xc0444140.
pcm0: <ESS Technology Maestro3> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 
0xf4000000-0xf4001fff irq 5 at device 13.0 on pci0

Do you get any messages (e.g. "timed out" or anything about interrupts? 
Have you tried suspending/resuming (I see sound not working about 1 time 
out of 20 or less)?

I'm pretty sure I remember disabling int 5 in 'pccard.conf' so that it'd 
be available for the sound driver - you might want to check that if 
you're running PCCARDs...

Are you sure about the mixer? ;-)

(Actually, sometime ago, the volume settings would start out at 0 after 
a boot, this seems to have stopped a few months ago).

Is your mute button pressed :-> (getting desparate now!)

HTH.

Cheers,
