Peter, Nils, I've identified the sound chip in question, it's a Crystal CS4236. The settings in WinNT can be seen in this picture: http://www.netg.se/~hugge/images/Sound.jpg . The alsa-related stuff I've nstalled from the CDs can be seen in this excerpt from root's .bash_history (commented by me): http://www.netg.se/~hugge/html/root_bash_hist.txt . I also made a copy of the output from alsaconf (minus all the curses-stuff!), where you can see that a file is missing: http://www.netg.se/~hugge/html/alsaconf.txt . Finally the file created by alsaconfig is in http://www.netg.se/~hugge/html/alsa.txt .
So far I haven't compiled anything, as the module already exists. If I run /etc/init.d/alsa start I get this text: Starting sound driver: snd-card-cs4236 failed. Feels like I'm getting close, but at the same time, maybe I have missed something really obvious, just don't know what yet. Ideas, anyone? -- .~. /V\ // \\ /( )\ ^`~'^ < hugge >
