Hi all,
First off, thank you for the ALSA drivers. They worked great when I
had an ALS4000 PCI card in my old system, but my new system is an
older dual processor Dell Precision 610MT system, and it has builtin
sound, which I think is a CS4236B. I'm running a clean install of
RedHat 7.1, with a self compiled 2.4.17 kernel. RH 7.1 correctly
finds and uses the card, but since I hear pops when starting tracks in
XMMS, I was hoping that ALSA would fix the problems.
I've tried alsa-driver 0.5.12a and 0.9.0beta10, but neither works.
Here are my settings from the /etc/modules.conf when RH 7.1 auto
detects the card:
alias sound-slot-0 cs4232
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
options sound dmabuf=1
alias synth0 opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options cs4232 isapnp=1
I've tried doing the following by commenting out the above lines and
putting in the following (as recommended by an email in the archive by
someone else with a 610MT) but just got errors:
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs4236
options snd-card-cs4236 snd_isapnp=1
# OSS/Lite portion
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm1-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm1-oss
I also tried using -cs4232 instead of cs4236, but that also failed.
Here's is the error I get with the modprobe of snd-card-cs4236:
jfsnew:~/src/Sound# modprobe snd-card-cs4236
/lib/modules/2.4.17jfs1/misc/snd-card-cs4236.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid
IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.17jfs1/misc/snd-card-cs4236.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.17jfs1/misc/snd-card-cs4236.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.17jfs1/misc/snd-card-cs4236.o: insmod snd-card-cs4236 failed
jfsnew:~/src/Sound#
In my .config file, I only have the following entry setup now:
#
# Sound
#
CONFIG_SOUND=m
With all the rest of the builtin drivers left out. I'm not sure what
I'm missing here, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
