Hi Tia , Thanks for your help.I managed to get the sound working out of my Crystal CS4236 with LM8.1 .For the benifit of the guys trying to get sound out Crystal CS4232/4235/4236B/4237B/4238B/4239 i will tell exactly what i did to get my sound working.
Thanks to the writeup by Deno in MandrakeForum"ML8.1 Troubleshooting:ISA PNP card:"This was my reference. 1)Install the RPM isapnptools 1.26-4mdk 2)Use the pnpdump prog to create isapnp.conf.As root type: /sbin/pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf. 3)Now we have to choose the resoures.For that we have to edit the file: /etc/isapnp.conf and uncomment all lines starting with (ACT Y) and the lines listed below: (DMA0.......... (DMA1....... (INTO(IRQ5...... (IO 0 (Size4)(Base 0x534)) (IO 1 (Size4)(Base 0x388)) (IO 2 (Size16)(Base 0x220)) (IO 1 (Size8)(Base 0x200)) (INTO(IRQ9(Mode+E)...... (IO 0 (Size2)(Base 0x330) 4)Now save the file and test the conf Type as root: /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf .There should be no error messages,if so check your configuration once more and recheck. 5) type: modeprobe cs4232. Sound should be working,if not try logout of KDE and login. 6) To get the module loaded on boot add the line : modprobe cs4232 in: /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. ....then reboot......
