Laptops :: sound Thinkpad 600



Try booting your original OS and write down the audio driver settings (IRQ, IO, etc) on a piece of paper.

Then try forcing these settings using modprobe while running DSL.

Hi Guys,

First of all let me just say that I am really new to linux and DSL. The people on this board are very knowledgeable and I would certainly take Kent's advice over mine if I was you.

I also wanted  to mention that Kent mentions in the thread (about 2 months ago)  that SNDCONFIG is "borked".  I am  not  sure what that means but I am going to assume a NEGATIVE connotation. I would also agree with him and hope that DSL adds the newest version someday. (soon?)

Anyway, I have an IBM ThinkPad 380XD that gives me sound probs and I resolve it like this:

Maybe adding the lines to the bootlocal file is better...and  I will try it on my next HDD load. But so far this is my ticket to sweet laptop sound!

BTW...nothing personal Kent. You are always a godsend...anything perceived negative in this post is just the Wild Turkey speaking up at 2 a.m!

BOOKMARK

Tired of having to hunt for this ^_^

Edited again to add: I have no idea why, but today I tried again and it worked first time, thanks to all the original posters in this thread for their work on this issue :)

My original post:
I also have a Thinkpad 600E, and have been trying for several hours to get the sound configured correctly in DSL.

I have followed the instructions from this thread (as root, starting from rmmod soundcore, through to insmod cs4232...etc), but following the insmod cs4232.... command I receive the error:

<snip>/cs4232.o: init_module: No such device

I have tried the following four settings (all suggested at some point earlier in the thread), but all produce the same error:

io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1
io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9
io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9

I'm totally stuck now, please can somebody make a valid suggestion of how to proceed!

edited to add: I don't know if it's relevant, but when i try dmesg, the last few lines say:

ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright © by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
ad1848: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...

Thanks...

i have an ibm thinkpad 600e and i cnat get my sound to work: hea ris what i have tried:

Code Sample
root@box:/home/dsl# modprobe sound
root@box:/home/dsl# insmod ad1848
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/ad1848.o
root@box:/home/dsl# insmod uart401
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/uart401.o
root@box:/home/dsl# insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
     You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesgt


also i have tried it with dma=1 and dma2=0 but i get the same error
