Good suggestion; unfortunately I've been doing this all as root.
I decided to follow your other recommendation, and recompiled my kernel
to use the cs4236 driver as a module. This yields my driver, but when I
try to modprobe it I get:
laptop cs423x # modprobe snd-cs4236
FATAL: Error inserting snd_cs4236
(/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r8/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko): No
such device
The driver does exist:
file
/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r8/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r8/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko:
ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not
stripped
I'm trying to figure out why the modprobe fails. Could it be it can't
find my hardware device?
I'm still in the process of googling so I can't say I've exhausted my
own resources yet, but any suggestions are welcome.
I might also try
emerge alsa-driver
again, since that's why I switched to the module rather than built-in
driver. With any luck, it will solve my problem as well.
This could have several reasons:
1. It is the wrong driver.
2. The driver is already loaded in the kernel (unlikely, since you
haven't tried to build the ALSA-enabled kernel yet, have you?).
3. OSS-modules in the kernel (ALSA and OSS compete for your soundcard,
OSS wins 'cause it was there first)
4. OSS-support in the kernel (see above).
My best bet would be 1.
Good advice! I went into my bios setup to see if it would tell me what
chip i had, and it showed that my sound device was in upnp mode - i
switched this to simply "enabled" and then all seemed to work. Thanks
for your tip!

Karsten
P.S.: Don't change thread subjects. You're confusing my mail app. ;)
sorry!
Thanks again,
