Laptops :: sound Thinkpad 600

I'm running a Thinkpad 600
DSL 2.3

I've followed the various steps listed in this thread, and the bios doesn't give specific information about the sound hardware. Can anyone give me additional pointers? What additional information do you need from me?

Hello, last night was the first time I tried DSL, and it was on a Thinkpad 600E with 384K of memory.

My machine type (label on bottom of laptop) is: 2645-IB1. Build date was 12/99.

Based on info on this board, I did the following:

1. Turn on computer, holding the F1 key until after Thinkpad logo appears to get into the BIOS menu.

2. Choose the "Config" option.

3. Turn off the "fast boot" option.

4. Boot DSL 2.3 CD with either no options (just hit enter), or I now use the "dsl toram" option.

5. When desktop appears, enter the following in console:

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

6. Make sure the Thinkpad's control of the sound is adjusted by using Fn-PgUp and Fn-PgDn to adjust the output level.

Just for grins, see if you get any output at the headphone jack, regardless of whether you hear anything from the speakers on the Thinkpad.

I also noticed that I can close the lid on the Thinkpad, and it makes a sound like it is suspending, but it continues to run. However, the sound to the Thinkpad's speakers is cut off, while the output from the headphone jack continues.

I also note that DSL's mix and volume control doesn't seem to have any effect , but I am OK with how it works without it. I use the combination of the volume control in XMMS along with the Fn-PgUp and Fn-PgDn keys to control it.

I hope you can get yours going.
