Hello everyone, I've recently acquired an IBM Thinkpad 600E. I've installed Mandrake Linux 9.0 Beta 4 and I can't get sound support no matter what I try.
I tried using Mandrake 8.2 - I've gone through almost all the possible modules.conf files available on the internet to no avail! At one point I managed to get all the modules up and running without complaint but all my mixer programs complained that they couldn't access /dev/mixer (/dev/mixer does exist though). I've since reformated and have instaled Mandrake 9.0 Beta 4. This has kernel 2.4.19-5mdk and some version of Alsa 0.9.0... I've checked on the internet and the module I'm supposed to load up is snd-card-cs4236. I believe this was distributed with an old version of Alsa - the module doesn't exist on my system. I've been trying to use snd-cs4236. I've manually set the irq and sound port settings with the ps2.exe utility. I've deleted everything to do with sound from my modules.conf. If I try: modprobe snd-cs4236 snd_port=0x530 snd_cport=0x538 snd_irq=5 snd_dma=1 snd_dma2=0 I get an error and dmesg says: CS4236+ soundcard not found or device busy I know that people have managed to get sound to work on the Thinkpad 600E but all the documentation I find on the internet is out of date with respect to Alsa. Can anyone help?! Please!!! Any ideas at this stage would be great! I tried the CS46xx module but can't find the correct options to pass to the module (the above options return errors). If I try modprobe snd-cs46xx on it's own dmesg returns: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:06.0 PCI: sharing IRQ 11 with 00:02.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 01:00.0 create - never read ISV3 & ISV4 from AC'97 Sound Fusion CS46xx soundcard not found or device busy Please help!! :) Take care, Onsi ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
