Hi! I've yet to get this soundcard working in either 2.4.x under OSS or any form of alsa, but I've come to understand alsa a lot better recently and am giving this another go.
I discovered another thread about this on this mailing lists archive - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09528.html ... and it was most helpful in setting up modules.conf. However, I'm running into problems in syslog when running /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa: Feb 26 05:49:26 lonemotherfuckingstar kernel: unable to register native major device number 116 Feb 26 05:49:26 lonemotherfuckingstar kernel: unable to register timer device (-16) Feb 26 05:49:26 lonemotherfuckingstar kernel: CS4236+ soundcard not found or device busy Feb 26 05:49:27 lonemotherfuckingstar kernel: unable to register native major device number 116 Feb 26 05:49:27 lonemotherfuckingstar last message repeated 2 times Feb 26 05:49:27 lonemotherfuckingstar kernel: can't register device seq Feb 26 05:49:54 lonemotherfuckingstar kernel: unable to register native major device number 116 Feb 26 05:49:54 lonemotherfuckingstar kernel: CS4236+ soundcard not found or device busy Feb 26 06:59:38 lonemotherfuckingstar kernel: unable to register native major device number 116 Feb 26 06:59:38 lonemotherfuckingstar kernel: unable to register native major device number 116 When i use modprobe to try and manually insert the module: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (smthmlk)# modprobe snd-cs4236 WARNING: Error inserting snd (/lib/modules/2.6.3-apm-prism54-pcmcia/kernel/sound/core/snd.ko): Input/output error FATAL: Error inserting snd_cs4236 (/lib/modules/2.6.3-apm-prism54-pcmcia/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko): No such device Also, the card does not appear in lspci: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (smthmlk)# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 430TX - 82439TX MTXC (rev 01) 00:01.0 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 01) 00:01.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:01.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:01.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2160 [MagicGraph 128XD] 00:03.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1131 (rev 01) 00:03.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1131 (rev 01) 05:00.0 Network controller: Harris Semiconductor: Unknown device 3890 (rev 01) Here's some information about my setup: kernel: 2.6.3 alsa: 0.9.6 (comes with the 2.6.x kernels) alsa-lib & alsa-utils: 0.9.6 both installed laptop: Dell Latitude CP 233ST (233mhz pentium mmx mobile) soundcard: Cirrus Logic 4237B (cs4236 module, ISA) os: slackware 9.1 my /etc/modules.conf file: alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss options snd-cs4236 irq=5 port=0x530 dma1=1 dma2=0 mpu_port=0x330 cport=0x210 my kernel .config file: http://smthmlk.fuckmicrosoft.com/2.6.3_kernel_config Way back when I had windows2000 on this laptop, sound did work ;) So im assuming it is possible to make it work somehow in linux.
