Application Description:

ESS Maestro-2/2E/1 sound driver Driver for ESS Maestro-2/2E/1 chips. These are the chipsets in quite a few laptops, including Dell Inspiron 7000's, etc. To disable the driver if that happens, push space while BeOS is loading, go to safe mode options, and check off "disable user-addons".

1.2 Details:

And 5 times so far, i've had to try to explain to people how the maestro works only to have them just give up out of frustration. If it was that easy to fix a problem, it would be fixed.

THE DOWNLOAD LINK WILL NOT WORK FOR THIS VERSION YET. PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT IT. It seems i have to put that in bold 72 point type to get people to listen.
