Peter, I don't know if this is likely helpful or not, but my Compaq is a
1500c with an ESS ES1869, reporting (on 5.4-RELEASE):

sbc0: <ESS ES1869 (Compaq OEM)> at port 0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b,0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 5,1 on isa0
pcm0: <ESS 18xx DSP> on sbc0

I too have in kernel:

device sound
device snd_sbc # ES1869 (Compaq OEM)

but after much headscratching it only finally worked after adding:

snd_ess_load="YES" # this fixed it .. bridge driver for ESS

That worked, thank you. The man pages are not the clearest here.
snd_ess(4) implies that all three drivers are needed but snd_sbc(4)
has no reference to it - which is what confused me.
