I have a problem setting up sound support on my old Optiplex GXi. Since the CD-ROM on this machine is broken, I took out the hard drive and put it in a different machine (without a sound card) and installed Progeny with X and KDE there. Then I put the hard disk back to the original machine. Everything seems to be OK, except for the sound. Dell Optiplex GXi has a "16 bit integrated Crystal CS4236 audio controller". I did the following: removed the alsa file from /etc/modutils (I guess it was put there when I installed KDE) and replaced it with a file with
alias char-major-14 cs4322 options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9 I found that setup in http://www.gac.edu/~nberan/linuxspecs.htm. then I did update-modules modprobe cs4232. This failes, giving a message .../cd4232.o init_module: device or resource busy My guess is that the options are incorrect. How to get the correct options? I do not have MS Windows running on this machine. The BIOS says only that the sound is enabled. The specifications on the Dell web page say "the built-in sound controller, built-in NIC ... are assigned available IRQ's automatically during system startup" Similarly for DMA channels. Any advice will is appreciated Slawek some printouts: cat /proc/interrupts gives: CPU0 0: 102224 XT-PIC timer 1: 919 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 14: 2921 XT-PIC ide0 15: 6 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 cat/proc/dma 4: cascade cat /proc/ioports 0000-001f : dma1 0020-003f : pic1 0040-005f : timer 0060-006f : keyboard 0070-007f : rtc 0080-008f : dma page reg 00a0-00bf : pic2 00c0-00df : dma2 00f0-00ff : fpu 0170-0177 : ide1 01f0-01f7 : ide0 02f8-02ff : serial(auto) 0376-0376 : ide1 0378-037a : parport0 03c0-03df : vga+ 03f6-03f6 : ide0 03f8-03ff : serial(set) 0778-077a : parport0 ffa0-ffa7 : ide0 ffa8-ffaf : ide1 dmesg gives: Linux version 2.2.18 (root@fritz) (gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)) #1 Tue Feb 27 10:33:03 EST 2001 Detected 198949 kHz processor.
