Laptops :: Soundcard HELP!!! Just looks plz
I have a Tecra 720cdt and the sound card is Crystal Semiconductor CS4232. To get it working this is what I did; I right-clicked on the desktop than went to "System" than went to "Sound Config" and went through some blue windows it didn't find a PNP or PCI soundcard so I picked "Crystal CS423x sound chip" from the list it gave me and hit "ok". BUT IT STILL DIDN'T WORK!!! Im sure as heck I have that soundcard so...what can I do to fix this?
Search the forums for " cs4232 "
There are a lot of threads on getting this working successfully ..
Here are some links to get you started ..

I don't see anything that tell me how to fix it...step by step im kind of new to linux...I need to know how to fix it step by step...for a cs4232 sound card not a soundblaster...
I got mine working, here is how
add these lines to bottom of /etc/rc5.d/S99bootlocal
modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 synthio=0x330 synthirq=9
modprobe opl3
modprobe soundcore
then comment the line in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
#include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff
reboot and be happy!
