Hi Tia ,
Thanks for your help.I managed to get the sound working out of my Crystal
CS4236 with LM8.1 .For the benifit of the guys trying to get sound out
Crystal CS4232/4235/4236B/4237B/4238B/4239 i will tell exactly what i
did to get my sound working.
Thanks to the writeup by Deno in MandrakeForum"ML8.1
Troubleshooting:ISA
PNP card:"This was my reference.
1)Install the RPM isapnptools 1.26-4mdk
2)Use the pnpdump prog to create isapnp.conf.As root type: /sbin/pnpdump
> /etc/isapnp.conf.
3)Now we have to choose the resoures.For that we have to edit the file:
/etc/isapnp.conf and uncomment all lines starting with (ACT Y) and
the lines listed below:
(DMA0..........
(DMA1.......
(INTO(IRQ5......
(IO 0 (Size4)(Base 0x534))
(IO 1 (Size4)(Base 0x388))
(IO 2 (Size16)(Base 0x220))
(IO 1 (Size8)(Base 0x200))
(INTO(IRQ9(Mode+E)......
(IO 0 (Size2)(Base 0x330)
4)Now save the file and test the conf
Type as root: /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf .There should be no
error messages,if so check your configuration once more and recheck.
5) type: modeprobe cs4232. Sound should be working,if not try logout of
KDE and login.
6) To get the module loaded on boot add the line : modprobe cs4232 in:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file. ....then reboot......
