I on a Dell gx 1 with cs4236 on board card
Worked fine in fc1 after running sndconfig
on FC2 sound does not work
sndconfig initially failed to run complaining that soundcore.o was missing.
a search of the /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/kernel/sound/ revealed a lot of files renamed from ~.o to ko.
Loadable kernel modules now have the .ko extension. You'd better renamed those files back
renaming soundcore.ko to soundcore.o got sndconfig working but it then complains that
? The module used for your card, ?
? cs4232.o, is not currently in ?
? your module search path. Please ?
? verify that your kernel modules ?
? are correctly installed.
The 2.6 kernel now has a different sound subsystem. Previously the 2.4.x kernels used OSS, now the 2.6.x series of kernels use ALSA.
sndconfig was written configure your card for use with OSS. Since FC1's sound tools were written for use with the 2.4.x kernels, now that you've installed the 2.6.x kernel, you'll need to configure the sound card manually.
I'd suggest you check out the ALSA website:
http://www.alsa-project.org
or alternatively, upgrade to FC2.
