It's an education I never would have gotten, thanks! I came to the party late by installing beta2 3 days after it was available. I've downloaded the ISOs for beta4 but haven't bothered since it seems just as easy (or more so) to keep updated through cooker. Will that make any difference? The system is current as of 12:54 MDT. I was wondering what all the shouting was about with the betas and SB Live; since I have a Live Value Digital out CT 4830 in this box and it's worked since 7.2 Freq install, so I started snooping/fiddling. It seems I was using the OSS (kernel) emu10k1 drivers all along. When I did my daily (or more) updates a couple hours ago I had to do the devfsd upgrade thing so I also switched to alsa and rebooted, upgraded everything available then changed lilo back, ran lilo, and rebooted again. I'm listening to the ogg files I've stashed on the "multi media" hard drive and it sounds better, and is cleaner and sharper, than anything ever has from this system. Digital out is working and if this ain't surround sound it's one hell of an emulation! My Altec Lansings and I are happy. I can tell 'cause the neighbors are p'oed about the "noise." :-) Not to belittle anyone's trouble but this works as the instructions here have stated. For me anyway. Outstanding job on 9.0 so far and it looks to get only better if that's possible. Thank you all!

[Cooker] No Sound in Mandrake 9 Beta 4
Hey, I'm installing Mandrake 9 Beta 4 on an IBM Thinkpad 600E. On boot, alsa doesn't report any errors and seems to load up fine (I get the correct driver name in parentheses). I don't get any audio, however, and gnome-volume-control says it can't access /dev/mixer. I checked this out and found that /dev/mixer doesn't exist! Harddrake2 reports the following: Vendor: Cirrus Logic Bus: PCI Bus Identification: 1013:6001:1014:1010 Location on the bus: 0:6:0 Description: Cirrus CS4610/1 CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Module: cs46xx Media class: MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO When I click on Run Config Tool and select cs46xx (the only option available) I get the error: Loading sound module (cs46xx) /lib/modules/2.4.19-5mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/cs46xx.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. ... modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-5mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/cs46xx.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod cs46xx failed dmesg gives me the following: AC'97 write problem, codec_index = 0, reg = 0x2, val = 0x8000 AC'97 read problem (ACCTL_DCV), reg = 0x2 (this error is repeated several times) Sound Fusion CS46xx soundcard not found or device busy Splashh status on console 0 changed to off PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:06.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:02.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 01:00.0 Crystal 4285/46xx + AC97 Audio, version 1.28.32, 22:31:31 Aug 23 2002 cs46xx: Card found at 0x5010 and 0x5000, IRQ 11 cs46xx: Thinkpad 600E (unsupported) (1014:1010) at 0x5010/0x5000, IRQ 11 cs46xx: create - never read card ready from AC'97 cs46xx: probably not a bug, try using the CS4232 driver cs46xx: or turn off any automatic Power Management support in the BIOS.

I don't know how to install the CS4232 driver either.. I get a whole bunch of module dependencies that I don't know how to satisfy. Take care, Onsi
