hello,
in my ibm thinkpad 380ED i have the following soundcard:

16 bit audio chip / 20 voice MIDI FM Synthesis / Crystal Semiconductor CS4236

this is quite a common soundcard, but it isnt detected though. now, when i run sndconfig. i get a message that no cards are detected, okay, then i get a list where i can choose one my own, so i choose the right card, i press enter and. "poof" the terminal window disapears, and thats it... :( no sound, nothing, it happens to every card i select, i even reinstalled dsl and still... no effect, how can i configure my sound?

btw: can i use infrared on my laptop to send files to any other infrared enabled device (i just need something like "infraredsend" see :p)

alright, sound is working, i entered the folowing values in the terminal, and all worked like a charm :D

modprobe opl3 io=0x388

modprobe cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9

tnx kslawson!

now i need to find a way to make this happen everytime i boot. can someone tell me what the linux variant of autoexec.bat is? or something else. so i can make it run everytime i start dsl

Hello,

I have the same problem with my ThinPad 380ED. DSL insists in that there is no soundcard. So if I type insmod CS4232 and so on, it says 'No such device'. Is there a way to tell DSL that there is a soundcard, no matter whether it is autodetected or not?

I would be thankful for any suggestions.
