Multimedia :: sound card not detected?

i have an Omnibook 5700CT. With Damn small Linux and i have no sound. Is there something i can do to detect the card or configure it? thanx

With an older audio chip, you will need to manually load its driver, and probably specify its resource settings (these are sometimes listed in BIOS).
Help us to help you. We need the brand and model of your audio chipset.

This information is often difficult to find on the web ... I just tried now, and amongst the vague information available the strongest possibility is that you have a Crystal chip.
If so, we still need the model. There's a driver for the cs42xx series, a driver for the cs46xx series, and there are 2 models, the cs4231 and cs4248, which use a different driver altogether.

thanx

hello, my laptop also do not detect the sound card. it`s a yamaha oplsa3. i can do modprobe oplsa . what should i do next ?

coze,
Your OSS driver might be opl3sa or opl3sa2, you need to identify the correct version of your Yamaha chipset.
According to the 2.4.26 kernel source documentation -

OPL3-SA (YMF701)
modprobe opl3sa io=0x530 irq=11 dma=0 dma2=1 mpu_io=0x330 mpu_irq=5

OPL3-SA2 (YMF711) and OPL3-SA3 (YMF715) and OPL3-SA4 (YMF719)
modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1
modprobe opl3 io=0x388

... but this person - http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=3056 reported dma=1 dma2=0
