All, I have a Dell Lattitude CPi D266XT with an integrated sound chip CS4237B. I just installed Mandrake Linux 9.0 and enabled the ALSA driver for the sound. The sound seems to work - I can play an audio CD with no problem .
However I cannot use the /dev/dsp device which is normally supposed to be used as a sound device (at least thats how I understand it) I tried to doing a cat of a .wav file to /dev/dsp with no success. The /etc/modules.conf file I have is -------------------------------------------------- probeall usb-interface usb-uhci alias eth0 eepro100 aliasd char-major-116 snd options snd snd-major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236 options snd-cs4236 snd_port=0x530 snd_cport=0x210 snd_mpu_port=0x220 snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_irq=5 snd_mpu_irq=7 snd_dma1=1 snd_dma2=0 snd_isa_pnp=0 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-pcm1-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss ---------------------------------------------------------- My /dev directory has /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp The /dev/snd appears to have the alsa devices : controlC0 hwC0D0 midiC0D0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p seq timer The /proc/asound/cards 0 [card0 ]: CS4237B - CS4237B CS4237B at 0x530, irq 5, dma 1&0 Also when the system boots I get an warning about insmod errors - possible invalid IO or IRQ parameters. I looked in the /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg but couldn't see any error. It looks pretty obvious that there is some conflict somewhere but I'm not sure how to go about debugging this. Any help will appreciated.
