summary: for some unknown reason I am not (yet) able to get the fricken sound card thumping...
here are the assorted details for anybody in the know on cs-4236 cards... i am trying to configure the alsa-driver for my CS-4236 soundcard in an IBM thinkpad 600e with Redhat9. I have been successful in the past, but am having problems this time. everything compiles ok, but when I run the alsa-driver/utils/alsaconf script it freezes during the Probing legacy ISA cards section... after discovering cs4236 cirrus Logic CS4235-9 additional information: modinfo soundcore provides the following: filename: /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/sound/soundcore.o description: "Core sound module" author: "Alan Cox" license: "GPL" and I compiled the driver with the following options ./configure --with-cards=cs4236 --with-sequencer=yes also, I read the FAQ in /alsa-driver about ISA cards Q: My card is not detected at all and is ISA based - non Plug & Play.Can I try something? A: If you have compiled driver with the ISA PnP support, you must force the detection of non-PnP version of your card with some drivers (use snd_isapnp=0 parameter - check the INSTALL file). This problem may occur mostly in portable computers where vendors suppressed the ISA PnP extension of sound chips. do i put this in the /etc/modules.conf & what exactly is the correct line : snd_isapnp=0 ??? Anyway, I didn't compile with isapnp. *** I think the main issue is when I try to insert the modprobe snd-cs4236 I get this error: /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.o: init_module: No such device... after recompiling the kernel I also updated the module-utilities to modutils-2.4.25-1. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
