Laptops :: laptop satellite vs DSL

Did you run alsa setup? It should be under MYDSL section if you right click on desktop.
My toshiba started to sing, after i installed alsa and runned alsa setup.

yes, i run alsa, and nothing happens... i see no audio device in the config of the xmms, try OSS and alsa... nothing

i think the "soundcard" is not detected.

in w98 in this laptop runs perfectly... in 8 bits in mandrake 6.1 also.

dsl in this amd 2200+, in the lines of the startup, i see, before the mouse, i can read a line that says the soundcard of the amd is detected... this thing never occurs with the laptop.

in the bios, i check and see that:

wss i/o adress = 530h
sbpro i/o adress = 220h
synthesizer i/o adress = 388H
wss & sbpro & mpu401 irq level = irq5

wss (play) dma = channel 1
wss (rec.) & sbpro dma = channel 0

control i/o adress = 370h
mpu401 (midi i/f) = 330h

i have to change anything in this?

thx!

sorry i post 2 times the same post, don't read this :P

Hi, I also have the same problems on my toshiba 480CDT. I did all the proper installs for alsadebs and I get nothing.

If I do "modprobe sb" or "sudo modprobe sb" the system hangs. When I do "cat /proc/modiles" i get nothing about my soundcard, only soundcore shows up.

HELP!

P.S I'm running DSL 2.2 with a frugal HD install.

The 480CDT is very easy to set up. You do not need alsa since it uses the opl2 or 3 drivers that are already compiled in the kernel. You just need to put this line in your /opt/bootlocal.sh

modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
