I've found this link: http://www.linux-thinkpad.org/cgi-bin/fom?_recurse=1&file=5#file_36
I run 'modprobe sound dmabuf=1' and get 'FATAL: Module off not found' I run 'modprobe cs4236 irq=5 io=0x534 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9' and I get 'FATAL: module cs4236 not found' Which makes me then realise that the tutorial missed the 'snd-' part of the module, so I retype 'modprobe snd-cs4236 irq=5 io=0x534 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9' and I get ' CS4236+ soundcard not found or device busy FATAL: Error inserting snd_cs4236 (/lib/modules/2.6.7-1-386/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko): No such device FATAL: Error running install command for snd_cs4236 ' I then run 'modprobe op13 io=0x388' and get 'FATAL: Module op13 not found' ... I remember trying like that before, and I'm still confused about the actual individual steps. Shouldn't I stop after the first error - aren't these commands successive? Don't they all need to work? Anyway - I'm not sure about that part. That tutorial pointed out that Redhat has a 'sndconfig' program that works - but I'm not sure if that's available for Debian. I've looked, and to my knowledge it isn't. If I run 'dmesg' (BTW - what the heck does that command stand for? I'll look it up later...) I get 5 lines at the very end that all say 'CS4236+ soundcard not found or device busy' I'm not sure what that means - if anything at all. I also found this forum post... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?threadid=199348 ...(but I don't think it matters, since it's for a 600 series thinkpad, and I'm on a 380). I know that I've given a lot of information, and it's ok if nobody wants to keep trying... I guess at this point I'm hoping for a miracle. Thanks to everyone who's helped so far. -Rich On Wed, 29 Dec 2004 07:36:21 -0700, Byron Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Dec 28, 2004 at 11:31:00PM -0700, me lyman wrote: > > Don't you mean snd-cs4236 and not snd-cs4326? > > You caught me, late night searching for stuff I don't use usually makes > me mistype. snd-cs4236 is the module you should be using. > > > CS4236+ soundcard not found or device busy > > > > Wouldn't it need to know where to find the card?
