if my sound wont work can i get headphones to work easier then gettig the other sound to work on an ibm thinkpad 600e

Headphones use the same soundcard than the loudspeakers, so headphones wouldn't be of any help... Unless you mean USB headphones/speakers, which should work.(they have their own "soundcard") I havent had any problems with those, as long as they are connected when booting.
But. I remember reading of a solution to your problem (with ibm thinkpad 600) in these forums
Search the forums.

The hardware of some sound cards cancel your audio outputs when are connected to low impedance devices. This is a protection against short-circuit or overload on your audio outputsPC speakers have a audio amplifier then they have high impedance input and not problem. But headphones not have audio amplifier (speaker direct) then have low impedance and can cause that problem.
WARNING: Also while inserting any plug into audio output jack on PC frequently produce short-circuit for a moment then sound card can cancel audio output. Because is convenient turn off computer before to connect an plug into audio output jack.
My english is not good. If you not understand, please tell me and i will attempt a better explanation.

searayman,The Thinkpad 600E sound driver loading suggested in the forums seems to work for other 600E owners here except for yourself. This is strange since I would expect all of them to have the same sound chipset.
Are you sure that your soundcard is not physically broken? Could you play sounds from a different OS like Windows 95/98?
The other possibility is that your soundcard resources have been changed from their factory default values to some other settings. You might be able to check if you went into your 600E system BIOS and looked at your sound resource settings.

to answer the above question about my sound, i know it works because if i hold the "FN" key an dhi tthe page up or down keys it raises and lowers the volume and beeps. If u want i can post the dmesg in here for you to read and maybe that will help yu help me.

this might be a problem when i type in modprobe sound it fails:| Code Sample |

but no sound plays
Posted by cbagger01 on Mar. 30 2006,18:27
Try increasing the volume and unmuting the sound.
Posted by searayman on Mar. 31 2006,02:47
i used mplayer and poped in a dvd and it said no sound
Posted by piccolo on Mar. 31 2006,10:46
When insert audio driver modules into the kernel (modprobe command) all mixer channels are muted by default.You must use a native mixer program to unmute appropriate channels, for example alsamixer from the alsa-utils package. In Xterminal:
alsamixer
Then from keyboard:
The Left and right arrow keys are used to select the channel while 'M' key toggles muting for the current channel
Sorry, note which solicit us no 'help me' type posts on 'Tips and Tricks' forum.
Posted by searayman on Mar. 31 2006,23:34
ok when i tried alsamixer i got this: | Code Sample |
| dsl@box:~$ sudo su root@box:/home/dsl# alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device root@box:/home/dsl# |
Posted by roberts on Mar. 31 2006,23:48
This is an extension. Moving to the proper forum area for easy searching later on.DId you read the info file and start alsa with a boot option?
Posted by searayman on April 01 2006,01:30
i just got dsl 2.3 and am now tryign this on ther ebut when i download alsa it says checksum download error. and afte ri get it downloaded how do i do the alsa with boot option and then what do i do?
Posted by searayman on April 01 2006,01:48
ok i am pretty sur ei have alsa installed now, but i dont get how to add the boot parameter thingy
Posted by cbagger01 on April 01 2006,06:10
FYI, if you want to use ALSA with DSL version 2.3, you need to get the "alsadebs.dsl" extension. The "alsa.dsl" extension is for DSL versions 2.0 and 2.1 only.
Posted by searayman on April 01 2006,19:49
i know i got "alsadebs.dsl and installed it but now what do i do?
Posted by cbagger01 on April 01 2006,21:20
Read the instructions in the alsadebs.info file and then follow them?
Posted by searayman on April 01 2006,22:36
i dont understand the directions. i dont know how to do this: | Quote |
| 1. Start up DSL with the "dsl alsa" boot command. |
Posted by humpty on April 03 2006,05:14
how did you install DSL ?if you are booting from cdrom or floppy it should pause for you to enter "dsl alsa".
Posted by searayman on April 06 2006,00:15
i installed it to the hardrive and am using grub
Posted by doobit on April 06 2006,00:18
Put alsa in /boot/grub/menu.lst in the line with all of the other options
Posted by searayman on April 07 2006,22:58
how exactly do i do that?
Posted by humpty on April 08 2006,04:15
I don't use grub myself but doobit means edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst.insert the word 'alsa' on the line where you see other
dsl options.
Posted by searayman on April 08 2006,10:27
ok i am not sur eif what i am doing is right, i click the file menue.lst then a box comes up and i click and i click "enter a command to open with" then i type in alsa in the box and hit ok. then i look and it says command alsa not found. But i am not even sure if this is where i type it in to enter it into the boot thing.
Posted by piccolo on April 08 2006,15:03
Here with more detail that Doobit and Humpty say to you.You must open menu.lst file with your favorite text editor (for example: Beaver). Edit it and save changes.
Note: Root Permission is required to save changes in menu.lst file
Not problem, follow this procedure:
1) Launch Beaver with root permission so: Open Xterminal and write this two commands:
sudo su
beaver
2) Go to menu of Beaver and do File -> Open (click to File and next click to Open).
Browser to /boot/grub/ directory and look menu.lst file. Select it and do click OK.
3) Now you can read the menu.lst file and will see some lines like this:
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal
You must insert "alsa" in each line so:
kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 quiet vga=normal noacpi noapm nodma noscsi frugal alsa
4) Save you changes (File -> Save)
5) Finish, reboot your computer.
Posted by searayman on April 08 2006,19:01
alright i now did all of that and when i rebooted i saw alsa thing in the command lines doing something, but the sound still dose not work, any ideas of what to do now?
Posted by piccolo on April 08 2006,20:51
Good, now you launch XMMSClick right button over XMMS
Options-> Preferences -> Audio I/O Plugins Tab -> Output Plugin
Perhaps it say OSS, but you must select or change to ALSA
Click Apply and click OK.
TEST: Play something audio file.
Also, you can do a simple test with XMMS. This should generate a tone:
Play Location -> tone://2000
If even the problem persist. Please, write to Xterminal this command:
lsmod
And post the result.
Also you say the chipset of your sound card.
Posted by searayman on April 08 2006,21:04
ok i went into xmms and changed that thing to alsa like you said then i put in a dvd and used mplayer and when i hit play dvd it said it coudl not initialize audio devices. lsmod gives me this:
| Code Sample |

and i am using a ibm thinkpad 600e
Posted by piccolo on April 08 2006,21:50
I'm not sure if alsa is loaded correctly, anyway that information is important to find the problem.Is easy know if alsa, at least was loaded.
Do in Xterminal command:
alsamixer.
If fail alsa even is not.
If run, remember unmute audio channels how i explained before.
Better test to sound with a audio file (.wav or .mp3) from your hard disk because a drive must be mounted (Mount Tool) before play a file from it.
Posted by piccolo on April 08 2006,22:39
Note the before i post other message. I believe the chipset of your sound card perhaps is: Cirrus Logic CS4237B
The suitable Alsa driver is: snd-cs4236
ALSA driver documentation here:
< http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-do....=cs4236 >
If all above is correct, is evident even that alsa driver is not loaded because lsmod print nothing like to: snd-cs4236
Then, do this commands sequence in Xterminal:
sudo su
update-modules
modprobe snd-cs4236
If you can do that without errors the ALSA driver was loaded.
Remember unmute audio channels with alsamixer and test play a sound with XMMS.
Posted by searayman on April 08 2006,23:44
i did that and this is what i got:| Code Sample |
| dsl@box:~$ sudo su root@box:/home/dsl# update-modules modroot@box:/home/dsl# modprobe snd-cs4236 /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-cs4236.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 dmesg /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-cs4236.o: insmod /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-cs4236.o failed /lib/modules/extra/alsa/snd-cs4236.o: insmod snd-cs4236 failed root@box:/home/dsl# |
Posted by piccolo on April 09 2006,15:33
I read again all the posts and want to try to put in order the ideas.In Linux there are two driver families or types: ALSA and OSS.
DSL install by defect driver type OSS.
When you edited the menu.lst file, the objective was avoid to load OSS modules at boot time, so instead load ALSA modules.
But, from lsmod command information, you even have loaded OSS modules. Now i'm sure.
Is impossible load ALSA modules without unload before the OSS modules, so the errors when you attempt the modprobe command.
Something more, your DSL version is 2.3 and you have installed alsadebs.dsl
well, but installed you gnu-utils.ds and dsl-dpkg.dsl packages???
If not, you need do:
PanelDSL -> MyDSL -> gnu-utils.dsl
And do:
PanelDSL -> MyDSL -> dsl-dpkg.dsl
So will have installed gnu-utils.dsl and gnu-utils.dsl too.
Besides, i found in other recent forum topic that you post the results from dmesg command. So i know that your chipset sound: is: Crystal 4280/46xx
That mean:
Suitable ALSA driver is: snd-cs46xx
We will try to unload OSS and load ALSA with the follow procedure, but you must have in mind that even if this run, when reboot your computer DSL will loss this settings. But at least we will know if are in the correct path.
Execute all this commands:
dsl@box:~$ sudo su
If some command fails, not import, follow with the others:
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod uart401
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod ad1848
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod sound
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod snd-pcm-oss
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod snd-pcm
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod snd-timer
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod snd-page-alloc
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod snd-mixer-oss
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod snd
root@box:/home/dsl# rmmod soundcore
Finally the important, if you can execute the follow command without errors:
root@box: modprobe snd-cs46xx
If not errors, then unmute audio channels with alsamixer.
Please, not test to play from a drive to avoid to add more error sources than the driver problem. Follow this procedure when test play a sound:
Launch XMMS
Click right button over XMMS
Click to "Play Location" and write:
tone://1000
Click OK
You should hear a tone if all went well.

alright i did the above commands and got errors when i loaded the snd-cs46xx| Code Sample |

Posted by piccolo on April 09 2006,16:44
To try this commands:root@box:/home/dsl# rmprobe snd-cs46xx
If errors, not import, follow.
The important is this command:
root@box:/home/dsl# modprobe snd-cs4232
If errors, post results from lsmod command too.
Have loaded you packages gnu-utils.ds and dsl-dpkg.dsl packages? Confirm me.

Make sure your bios is set for PnP OS = NO.Run "cat /proc/interrupts" command to check for IRQ conflicts.
Posted by searayman on April 09 2006,22:12
i dont know how to make sure my bios are set for PnP OS = Noand i tried the thing to check IRQ conflicts and i got this:
| Code Sample |
| dsl@box:~$ sudo su root@box:/home/dsl# cat/proc/interrupts bash: cat/proc/interrupts: No such file or directory root@box:/home/dsl# |
Posted by piccolo on April 09 2006,23:17
You wrote command: cat/proc/interrupts When you must write: cat /proc/interrupts
Note there are a space after "cat".
Please, post the results.
Procedure to set PnP to NO or disabling:
Reboot your computer, hit DEL key before launch DSL. That open a BIOS configuration program.
You must browser through options using the keyboard until to find the option to disable (if enabled) something like to: "Plug and Play detection".
Next, exit from configuration program (escape key), saving your changes.
Your computer will reboot automatically.
Next, to try again if run commands:
root@box:/home/dsl# modprobe snd-cs46xx
or
root@box:/home/dsl# modprobe snd-cs4232

ok i just looked for the pnp thing and i couldnt find anything in the boot stuff with a name like that.
Posted by piccolo on April 10 2006,12:16
SETTING PNP:Is important because that can be interfering the driver installation. Anyway, you would can have the correct setting by defect and not be necessary, but better check it, if is possible for you.
Can be different on your computer, in my case i must browser to:
PNP/PCI Configuration -> Resources Controlled By
And there is, the options are: manual or automatic.
I change to "manual" (if "automatic")
Also this:
PNP/PCI Configuration -> PNP OS Installed
And there is, the options are: yes or no.
I change to "NO" (if "YES")
-----------------------------------------------------------
NEW STRATEGY TO INSTALL DRIVER:
Procedure using utility:
1) You need download a Debian utility from internet called: sndconfig. Do so:
Enable (If never was enable) APT on your DSL:
Apps >> Tools >> Enable Apt
2) Open Xterminal and write commands:
dsl@box:~$ sudo su
root@box:/home/dsl# apt-get update
3) After the process is finished, download package Debian utility
root@box:/home/dsl# apt-get sndconfig
4) Launch utility:
root@box:/home/dsl# sndconfig
Follow the instructions and automatically will do, or would do the work.
The utility play "Hello" sound sample if configuration success.

PnP:I now know exactly how to disable PnP on your Thinkpad 600e computer from other posts on Laptops Forum.
The Thinkpad 600E has a BIOS option called "fast boot" what that really does is enable/disable PnP OS support.
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.
Make sure to save that changes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SNDCONFIG:
You have passed from step 2 to step 4 without have done step 3:
root@box:/home/dsl# apt-get sndconfig
Posted by cbagger01 on April 11 2006,16:39
I believe the correct syntax is:apt-get install sndconfig
Posted by piccolo on April 11 2006,17:38
Many tanks cbagger01. You have reason. That is correct command.
Posted by searayman on April 12 2006,00:56
alright i got sndconfig installed and used it!! and it didnt work automaticaly and wated me to choose me own card so i first chose cs24xx but that gave me a bunch of errors then i tried. Also this is the card it said i had in the beggining | Code Sample |
| Model: CS 4610/11 [CrystalClear x x SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] |
so after the cs46xx didnt work i tried the cs423x chip and that didnt work at first but thn i made sure the setting were at: io port=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpu/io=0x330 and mpu irqu=5
and when it played a sound sample i actualt hear noise with was good but it was a vert statiky. but my sound on gaim is workignnow lol at first it wasnt. ANywho how do i know turn up the volume internaly cause when i hit "FN" and "page up" it beeps louder but when i do things on the computer the sound isnt turned up? any ideas? actauly now those button are working. wow cool anywho thanks for all the help.
just one finnaly question will all these setting be saved? like if i turn the computer off and reboot, will i have to use sndconfig to get it to work again or will it automaticaly work? and if it wont automaticaly work how can i get it to work automaticaly when i turn the computer on?

WARNING: You assing the same irq to different sound chipset functions.
That can produce from the noise problem to can't install the sound driver.
Remember you the command: cat /proc/interrupts?
| Code Sample |
root@box:/home/dsl# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 10784844 XT-PIC timer 1: 27945 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 3: 310046 XT-PIC orinoco_cs 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 11: 0 XT-PIC Texas Instruments PCI1251A, Texas Instruments PCI1251A (#2), usb-uhci 12: 1380425 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 74469 XT-PIC ide0 15: 2202 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 0 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 |
First column is the assigned interrupts (assigned irqs).
With that you can know free irqs. For example, your free irqs are: 6, 7, 9, 10, 13.
Then you can to try this resources assignation:
io port=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpu/io=0x330 and mpu-irq=7
Note you the difference?

| like if i turn the computer off and reboot, will i have to use sndconfig |
