Dave: The only different is that /proc/asound/cards says --- No Sound Card
in my case. I have a nagging suspicion about two things:
1) I/O / IRQ conflicts (I dual boot to WindozeME for games; and that has no
problems with our Crystal Sound chip)
2) Older snd-card-cs46xx or other drivers
It appears Turgut and I share the same (or similar) problem. As I have
noted in previous posts, my own alsa sound driver appears to be loading
properly during boot, yet I have no sound. When I try
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound restart
I get several OK responses as the mixer settings are saved,
This post will totally betray my ignorance, but i'd rather try to help someone
:-) I had similar errors with one installation (of Mandrake) and i don't
remember how i solved it. Here are a few things that come to mind.
Have you:
1) explicitly made sure that the correct modules are configured
Oh, many thanks! I was totally unaware of depmod -a command.
I tried that, and afterwards did a /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound restart
and it complained about the same thing. argh.
I dont seem to have a sndconfig program anywhere on the disk..
Btw, I did not build a kernel; I simply did an rpm
I gave it some thought and now i remember that sndconfig saved me. If you the
kernel is built with support for your soundcard and all the module dependancies
are set up correctly, then sndconfig is your next step. (That means we're
hoping that your kernel will support it, but try this next step
Oh Turgut, one more thing. Although i'm sure that running sndconfig will almost
certainly solve your problem, another thing you might try doing is going
through some of your logfiles to see if you can get any insight there. Maybe
start with /var/log/syslog and try any other ones that seem
Many thanks for the sndconfig; unfortunately it displays that my Cirrus
Logic|CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] is
currently NOT supported, and quits.
sigh. and I used to have sound when I first installed 7.2.

Greetings. Ever since I upgraded to the new kernel, 2.2.19-4 (?) , whatever
was available on the MandrakeUpdate, I lost the sound support on the
Thinkpad A20m. I also lost the modem support, but managed to get that back :)
Kernel RPM installation went fine, as outlined by that 'security' web
