crystal sound on dell
I have a del xps R400 system that has onboard crystal sound system. Ihave not sucessfully installed a driver that works with my sound card. Does anyone have any success with the sound system and any kernel? Thanks for any help. -- -- Joel Keating [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~jkeating

Thanks for any help. -- -- Joel Keating [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.execpc.com/~jkeating As far as I remember, Crystal card is supported in 2.0.x + kernels. At least I saw it in config modes for 2.2 kernel. So waht you need to do is install kernel-source package and configure the sound using card data you can get from windows. Then compile your kernel, and you are done. Andrei --- Andrei S.

Does anyone have any success with the sound system and any kernel? Thanks for any help. I'm using a crystal in my AST system. I've had some problems getting it to work, but at least kernel 2.2.9 gives me a stable sound system. In the past I've had problems with DMA timeouts, but 2.2.9 seems to be free ofthose. You'll probably have to use isapnp to activate the sound system though, before you load the drivers. So get the kernel sources, configure them for Crystal sound as a module. Then, configure isapnp through pnpdump (man isapnp). Run isapnp, then load the kernel module as follows: modprobe cs4232 io=0x354 irq=5 dma1=0 dma2=1 (for a pretty standard setup). Ofcourse, you'll have put the values you find with pnpdump. All in all, it's a pretty tough job to get it working, so If you encounter any specific problems, mail me. --nico :: Nico Galoppo :: Linux - Free power for the masses : :: :. :: :: :: scratch at ace.ulyssis.student.kuleuven.ac.be :: : http://hq.narfum.org/~scratch :: . .::
Re: crystal sound on dell
I have a Dell with crystal sound running OK. I used pnpdump -c to create the /etc/isapnp.conf file but when running isapnp the system complained about not finding an IRQ for the MPU. I then changed the line in isapnp.conf reading (CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING to (CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ WARNING)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING isapnp still complains but finishes working. Since I don't have any MIDI device to connect to I don't really need this thing. I can still play sounds. Off course, you have to compile the kernel with sound support and enter the proper parameters (you can take those from the isapnp.conf file). Alternatively, install the ALSA drivers at http://www.alsa-project.org/ (in fact, that's how I have my PC running now). -- Pedro I.
