Hi all,

First off, thank you for the ALSA drivers.  They worked great when I
had an ALS4000 PCI card in my old system, but my new system is an
older dual processor Dell Precision 610MT system, and it has builtin
sound, which I think is a CS4236B.  I'm running a clean install of
RedHat 7.1, with a self compiled 2.4.17 kernel.  RH 7.1 correctly
finds and uses the card, but since I hear pops when starting tracks in
XMMS, I was hoping that ALSA would fix the problems.

I've tried alsa-driver 0.5.12a and 0.9.0beta10, but neither works.  

Here are my settings from the /etc/modules.conf when RH 7.1 auto
detects the card:

  alias sound-slot-0 cs4232
  post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
  pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
  options sound dmabuf=1
  alias synth0 opl3
  options opl3 io=0x388
  options cs4232 isapnp=1


I've tried doing the following by commenting out the above lines and
putting in the following (as recommended by an email in the archive by
someone else with a 610MT) but just got errors:

  # ALSA portion
  alias char-major-116 snd
  options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
  alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs4236
  options snd-card-cs4236 snd_isapnp=1

  # OSS/Lite portion
  alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm1-oss
  alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss

I also tried using -cs4232 instead of cs4236, but that also failed.
Here's is the error I get with the modprobe of snd-card-cs4236:

  jfsnew:~/src/Sound# modprobe snd-card-cs4236
  /lib/modules/2.4.17jfs1/misc/snd-card-cs4236.o: init_module: No such device
  Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid 
IO or IRQ parameters
  /lib/modules/2.4.17jfs1/misc/snd-card-cs4236.o: insmod
  /lib/modules/2.4.17jfs1/misc/snd-card-cs4236.o failed
  /lib/modules/2.4.17jfs1/misc/snd-card-cs4236.o: insmod snd-card-cs4236 failed
  jfsnew:~/src/Sound# 

In my .config file, I only have the following entry setup now:

  #
  # Sound
  #
  CONFIG_SOUND=m

With all the rest of the builtin drivers left out.  I'm not sure what
I'm missing here, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John
