|
|
I have been looking around the net for around a month now, trying many distros and even knoppix doesn't work with this, so I figured I would ask someone.
I am using a gentoo 2.4.28-r7 kernel
The IBM Thinkpad needs the cs4232 driver in order to work,
I have done the grep audio /proc/pci and it shows:
Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CD 4610/11 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev1).
I know the cs4232 driver needs the io/irq/dma/dma2 commands in order to work so I have tried
Code: | modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 |
I have been working at this so long I have that line memorized
It fails to load the module and looking at dmesg it says "No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones"
I have read the ALSA config guide however since I cannot get the kernel module loaded, ALSA bails because of the fact there aren't any sound cards..I have been looking all over and haven't found anything yet.. _________________ Never trust an operating system you do not have the sources for -Unknown Source |

Hmmmm... Isn't that a 46xx chip, and not the 4232? I have a 600X and the snd_cs46xx worked for me. I appear to have a similar sound device:
Code: |
$ lspci
Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01)
|
Under Gentoo and 2.6, alsaconf picked it right upafter I figured out my ACPI problems. I had similar errors to yours until I started passing acpi=force pci=noacpi to the kernel. I can't say why this works, only that from what I've read the ACPI support on the ThinkPad 600 series is a bit broken. |

Hmm...Knoppix tries using the snd_cs46xx and it fails, but tells you to try the cs4232 driver..I don't know..
By pass to the kernel do you mean adding a Code: | append="acpi=force pci=noacpi" | to my lilo config?
I'll try to upgrade to the 2.6 kernel later..(already emerged sources) I just have to make sure the pegasus module will load as that is how I am getting onto the internet w/o a built in nic. (last time I tried 2.6 it didn't go too well, not that I don't mind experimenting:wink: )
EDIT:
I got it working!
for everyone else:
Go into your bios and TURN OFF Quick Boot, then the kernel module will load, I didn't even have to install alsa for it to work just using OSS? Code: | modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 |

The sound chipsets are different between 600X and 600E: http://www.linux-thinkpad.org/chipsets.html |
