Hi there, I've got an IBM Thinkpad 600E laptop which contains the infamous CS4610 sound chip. (Crystal Fusion Sound Accelerator) I understand that under previous versions of Linux, specifically Red Hat Linux, this chip was supported and worked. However I have just installed Red Hat 8.0 on the laptop, and even with the latest ALSA drivers, have been unable to hear more than the system beeps out of it. I've recompiled the kernel (2.4.20) many times, with many different options, tried various versions of the ALSA driver... Versions reported to work with this card specifically won't even compile under 2.4.20, so that's a dead end. Has anyone else attempted to do the same, and if so, were you able to get the sound to work? I'm blown away by 8.0 so far, the hardware support for other peripherals is fantastic (digital camera, Palm, scanner, etc.) but sound is a must for me as I use my laptop as my CD player (Well, mp3 player) while on the road all the time... I'de hate to have to continue using Windows for this purpose... ANY help here would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
