ASAP plz help me. Posted by SaidinUnleashed on Sep. 17 2004,00:50
go to the DSL Control Panel, there is an icon on the desktop for it.click soundcardconfig. if it doesn't auto-detect it, you can select a driver from the list. you may have to use trial-and-error to find a driver that will work. but it's easy in soundcardconfig. -J.P.

oops I forgot to say that I already tried that and it didn't work...so what else can I do?

does it work with knoppix 2.4 proper?if so, copy the module onto a removable media and try insmod 'ing it on DSL. -J.P. SaidinUnleashed Posted by wetterau on Sep. 17 2004,17:24
Search in laptop discussion for Thinkpad 600 (which has a similar card) or 4232. You should be able to get it working. You have to insert a few commands.

try typing this..." modprobe uart401 " " modprobe cs4232 " If that doesn't work, you may need ot tell it your resources.. cd to your /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/sound directory, Then try ... " insmod uart401 " " insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5 " Then exit your xserver by using ctrl-alt-bksp, and at the prompt, type " startx" ... See if you have a volume dock app in the lower right hand corner.. 73 ke4nt Posted by WeaponsX on Sep. 20 2004,02:03

Sometimes typing " rmmod soundcore" before running the modprobe commands helps..Post up your lsmod output for us to see.. When you ran the modprobe commands , what errors did the command line show you? Also , you might want to apt-get the pciutils from debian, then run "lspci -vv" to see what your card is detected as .. 73 ke4nt |
