Hi
I need to setup sound on my old Laptop {IBM TP 600E 2646 (4BU)}

I tried using sb module using command "modprobe sb" but it gives error "No Such Device"

Also I tried to ALSA but my system hangs every time I try to download it.

Following is the error I found from System Stats

Crystal 4280/46xx + AC97 Audio, version 1.28.32, 11:54:54 Aug 29 2005
cs46xx: Card found at 0x50100000 and 0x50000000, IRQ 11
cs46xx: Thinkpad 600E (unsupported) (1014:1010) at 0x50100000/0x50000000, IRQ 11
cs46xx: AC'97 read problem (ACCTL_DCV), reg = 0x7c returning 0xffff
cs46xx: AC'97 read problem (ACCTL_DCV), reg = 0x7e returning 0xffff
cs46xx: AC'97 write problem, reg = 0x0, val = 0x0
cs46xx: AC'97 read problem (ACCTL_DCV), reg = 0x0 returning 0xffff
ac97_codec: Primary ac97 codec not present"


Please guide me through this. I am Linux newbie just released from Windows Trap.

Did you try some of the suggestions in other threads? (for example, search on cs46xx)

Did you try to save it to a permanent location and not in /ramdisk ?

Thanks for the tip. Finally got it working after digging in and trying out various parameters. [ALSA & GNU UTIL Not required]

Below are steps that made it chirping [For any other newbie like me].

1) Turn off the "fast boot" option in "Config" section of BIOS setup. [To Reach BIOS: Turn on computer, holding the F1 key until after Thinkpad logo appears to get into the BIOS menu.]

2) Enter the following commands (to load the required sound modules during booting) in bootlocal.sh {Found in /opt}

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

Once again thanks. I am now enjoying DSL.
