I don't have a solution, but thought I'd let you know I have the same 
problem with an integrated sound "card" on a new computer from Gateway. 
All that Gateway was able to tell me was that it was an "AC '97" chip. I 
figured I'd just live with it for now. I'm using the i810 (or whatever 
it is -- I don't have access to that computer at the moment) module 
instead of es1371.
