Both of these are OSS drivers, which is fine if you know that is what you want. If you go with ALSA, for the cs46xx (this is the modules for a number of Cirrus Logic cards) use "snd-cs46xx", and for the cs4232. If it turns out that is what you have, use "snd-cs4232". The fastest way to find out which one will work is just to modprobe them one at a time and wait until one of them takes. In your case, none of them seem to work, which might point to another issue such as a hardware conflict (do you have pnp OS disabled in your bios? quickboot?). > >I get an error when manually loading the driver via > >root]# modprobe snd-cs46xx > >/lib/modules/2.4.19.../.../cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o.gz: > init_module: No such device > >Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect > module parameters, > >including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. > > This is a very generic error and could mean a lot of things: this is not the right driver for your card, you have a harware conflict (some laptops require ACPI stuff). I would bet the former is right. Try another module (snd-cs4232, snd-cs4236...see the ALSA soundcard matrix for other possibilities). It looks like people have had luck with snd-cs4236, though others say it is a cs461x chip, which might point to snd-4610. Am I even being helpful any more? > >Much has been written on getting sound to work on > the Thinkpad 600e including: > >>alias char-major-116 snd > >>alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs4232 > >>alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 > >>alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss > >>alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm1-oss > >>alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss > >>options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 > snd_device_mode=0666 > >>snd_device_gid=0 snd_device_uid=0 > >>alias sound snd-card-cs4236 > >>options snd-card-cs4236 snd_port=0x530 > snd_cport=0x538 snd_mpu_port=-1 > >>snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_irq=5 snd_dma1=1 snd_dma2=0 This is all old and doesn't mean much I'm afraid, except that it seems to point to snd-cs4232 as our module. And the call from IBM for you to specify cs4236 in sndconfig is another carry over from OSS. There is also a tool called "alsaconfig" which does a similar sort of autodetection. Search for it and give it a try if you like. Mandrake has it's own tool built into Hardrake as well. Go the the Mandrake Control Panel and choose "hardware". You will find your card in the list and can run the configurator on it. In any case, the modules.conf you listed is rather outdated. On the system I am at right now (Mandrake 9), the sound portion of modules.conf simply reads: alias snd-slot-0 snd-rme9652 above snd-rme9652 snd-pcm-oss ...which loads everything nicely for this card. Let me know how things progress. Kevin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
