I have been trying to get my soundcard working in ALSA, but I've failed
miserably a few times already. I installed the RPMS from
psyche.freshrpms.net, but whenever I try to load the snd-cs46xx module,
it tells me it can't find the card. What caught my attention is that
/proc/pci tells me my soundcard is on IRQ 11, which isn't right at all!
I think the snd-cs46xx module simply assumes this information to be
correct, and I don't seem to be able to tell the module the correct IRQ.
I even start to believe that the /proc/pci information for my soundcard
is terribly incorrect, since I even doubt that this laptop's soundcard
can do hardware mixing.
The line(s) that show my soundcard in /proc/pci read:
Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4610/11 [CrystalClear
SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 1).
IRQ 11.
With OSS, I use the module cs4232 which works great. I use this line in
/etc/modules.conf to load the driver:
options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
This works great, except for the fact that I can't do hardware mixing,
which the ALSA soundcard matrix claims it should be able to (with the
ALSA driver).
So if anyone could confirm that the information of my soundcard in
/proc/pci is incorrect, I can sleep well again... Otherwise I'd really
like to know how to get this working! :)
Cheers,
Richard.
