DSL Tips and Tricks :: sound?



ok thanks i looked through all of that but am very confused can some one explain it to me?
From reading what the others have written.

Open a terminal and type: lsmod
this will give you a list of the modules that are loaded.  among others you should see lines with sound and soundcore.  You may also see lines with the other ones that you need to load.  In the best case scenario you should only have to type: insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0

If this does not work use the command rmmod <each of the ones listed below starting from the bottom of the list> (i.e. sudo rmmod cs4232).
then type in the following and give it a try

modprobe sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0

Alternatively you could use apt-get to install sndconfig which has a section on cs423x.  Also you may need to use sudo for each of the lines above.

ok thanks but i dont et what u mean by this part:

If this does not work use the command rmmod <each of the ones listed below starting from the bottom of the list> (i.e. sudo rmmod cs4232).
then type in the following and give it a try

He means to say:

At the bottom of my post is a list of commands that install the sound driver modules (with the appropriate settings) for your computer system.

HOWEVER, it is possible that your system already has these driver modules up and running, but with incorrect settings.

If this is true, you need to "unload" or "rmmod" the incorrectly configured modules before you will be allowed to reload them again with the correct settings.

the

lsmod

command will produce a listing of all of the driver modules that are currently in use on your computer system.

If you find any of these modules on this list (sound, ad1848, uart401, or cs4232), then you will need to manually unload them before you can load in the correct settings. For example:

sudo su
rmmod ad1848
rmmod uart401
rmmod cs4232
rmmod sound

modprobe sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0

i typed in lsmod and none of those things were listed so o the proceded into typing:

Code Sample
modprobe sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0


and then i opened xmms and hit play and it said my sound wasnt configured
