I subsequently used alsaconf to configure the ALSA drivers having had problems with sound. As part of the ALSA set-up I turned up the volume via the mixer - full volume seemed necessary for me to get a voice engine functioning ok.
The SB 128 PCI, which uses the ES1371 is used in quite a lot of our machines
and I've not heard of any problems. This is what I have in modules.conf:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ens1371
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=17 snd_device_uid=0
options snd-card-ens1371 snd_index=0 snd_id=SB_128PCI snd_dac1_frame_size=64 snd_dac2_frame_size=64 snd_adc_frame_size=64
Your's should look nearly identical.
And from the lsmod output (omitting all non related):

You see that soundlow isn't needed. Please recheck your mixer settings with
one of the ALSA aware mixers, i.e. alsamixer, gamix or xamixer2 as only the
will show additional mixer devices the OSS API doesn't now. Then save the
levels by doing 'alsactl store' and call 'rcalsasound restart' (as root).
This should work, at least it does for all I know that use ALSA.
