Description of Problem: As root, run sndconfig. PNP detection: "No PnP or PCI sound cards...". In the menu, select "Crystal CS423x sound chip". Manually pass the values I got from Windows 98: I/O Port=0x530, IRQ=10, DMA1=1, DMA2=0, MPU I/O=0x300, MPU IRQ=9. I press OK. The screen stays all blue (background screen for Sound Configuration Utility 0.65.2 for about 5 or 6 seconds then displays: "Sound Card Test", "A sample sound will now be played...". I press OK. The screen stays again all blue for about 5-6 seconds and then displays: "modprobe error" "The following error occured running the modprobe program: /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o: init_module: No such device /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o: insmod sound-slot-0 failed" Reading a bit more lead me to displaying used resources. cat /proc/ioports gave: () 00f0-00ff : fpu 01f0-01f7 : ide0 0300-031f : 3c574_cs 03c0-03df : vga+ 03f0-03f5 : floppy 03f6-03f6 : ide0 03f7-03f7 : floppy DIR 03f8-03ff : serial(set) 0cf8-0cff : PCI conf1 1000-10ff : PCI CardBus #01 () And cat /dev/interrupts gave: CPU0 0: 155197 XT-PIC timer 1: 1486 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 5: 23478 XT-PIC 3c574_cs 6: 16 XT-PIC floppy 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 11: 0 XT-PIC usb-uhci, Texas Instruments PCI1250, Texas Instruments PCI1250 (#2) 12:348 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 15365 XT-PIC ide0 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 The cat /proc/dma only gave: " 4: cascade". I tried again with non conflicting settings, several settings. Every time the sound test starts, I have a 5 to 6 seconds of "wait" before I get same error message: "modprobe error". At last, I removed all PC cards from the machine and rebooted. Tried again to load driver: not better. Opened support ticket 195189 with RedHat support staff. Made me upgrade to latest patch and kernel (2.4.9-13) using up2date. Not better. Finally received this comment: "Notify Customer with e-mail notification. Steffen Technician Response Dear Jean-Philippe, you may want to try to load the module with insmod If this doesn't work, could you please file a bug on http://bugzilla.redhat.com You may want to have a visit to following link as well http://www.alsa-project.org and try their driver. Best Regards, Steffen 19-NOV-2001 13:12:42 EST Request Updated" I then tried: "Hi, I am quite new to Linux and I would appreciate the correct list of commands to issue, regarding my configuration. I made the following: modprobe soundcore modprobe sound modprobe ad1848 modprobe uart401 The I try to insert my driver: insmod cs4232 irq=10 io=0x534 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9 I played around with parameters, and this does not work: init_module: no such device. My question is: based on the ressources used by my card under Windows (see initial post), is this correct? Do I have to pass parameters to the ad1848 and uart401 drivers? If yes, whhich and how? 28-NOV-2001 05:32:52 EST" and got: "28-NOV-2001 10:04:02 EST Steffen Technician Response Dear Jean-Philippe, the parameters look correct. I really can not understand why it is not working, sound on Laptops can be sometimes tricky, you may want to have a look at http://www.linux-laptops.net and have a look for your model. Nevertheless plase file this as well as a bug on http://bugzilla.redhat.com so an engineer will have a closer look at this problem. Thank you in advance. Regards, Steffen 28-NOV-2001 09:56:40 EST" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Sound Configuration Utility 0.65.2 How Reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start the machine under Linux RedHat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.9-13 2.Logon as root, switch to INIT 3 3.Run sndconfig and pass correct parameters to the CS4232 driver (correct parameters being parameters that works under Windows 98 - dual boot machine - and that do not conflict with other hardware piece of equipment) Actual Results: insmod fails, no sound. Expected Results: insmod success, sound :-) Additional Information:
Is there anything for your card in /proc/isapnp?
closing, lack of response
