    I have a IBM Thinkpad 701C.
    It has a ES688 soundchip.
    I'm using Linux kernal 1.2.13.
    Apparently, the sound chip is not 100% HARDWARE comptaible to sound
    blaster. The new Voxware sound drivers requires kernals > 1.3.70. The
    problem is that upgrading the kernal is TOUGH !
    I heard compiling the kernal to use Sound Blaster (non pro) works, not
    tried yet.
