I have one sound card only. I has both a CS4237B sound chip and a CS9236 sound chip. From the ALSA INSTALL file, it appears that I must use the cs4236 driver.
Here are the sound lines that I have in /etc/modules.conf. The first line was placed there by the Mdk 8.1 installation. I inserted all the rest after reading parts of the ALSA INSTALL file. I will number the lines for discussion purposes. 1 alias sound-slot-0 ad1848 2 alias char-major-116 snd 3 alias char-major-14 soundcore 4 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs4236 5 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 6 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss 7 alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss 8 alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss 9 alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss 10 alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss I hear a crackle when Gnome comes up, but then nothing. No sound applications work. Do 1 and 4 conflict? Should I have deleted 1 when I added 4? It appears that ad1848 is loaded twice. Lines 2-5 appear necessary according to the ALSA INSTALL file. Are these lines correct for my single sound card? Lines 6-10 are wild guesses based on examples in the ALSA INSTALL file. I know that the zeros in the first position point to my single sound card, but I have no idea about the services represented by the numbers (0, 1, 3, 8, 12) in the second position. I have no idea how to go about assigning the oss compatibility drivers. Do I need lines 6-10? If so, how do I verify the correctness of the service numbers? My modprobe command was "modprobe snd-card-cs4236". Is that sufficient? -- Jim Marshall
