I've got a Tecra 730cdt that DSL runs great on ....... except for having no sound. I downloaded the Alsa.dsl for DSL 2.0, and put it into my /home/dsl. I saw a mydsl option in my start-menu that had an alsa setup script, so I tried it. Nothing. I then tried an idea someone had...............boot to cd, load "dsl mydsl-load alsa.dsl". Nothing. When I try to use xmms, I get a "couldnt open audio. check 1you have the correct output plugin selected 2> no other programs are blocking the soundcard 3. your soundcard is configured properly" error. The chipset is a soundblaster pro something or other......I'll find the spec tonight.

Do you have the other extensions loaded as specified in the alsa.info file?

Also, make sure that you use alsa.dsl and NOT alsadebs.dsl

A lot of the Toshibas use the Yamaha OPL3 chipset. Maybe yours does, and you can get it started with the information in this link:

Found the sound info: Crystal semiconductor CS4232, Yamaha OPL3 (YMF262), Yamaha D/A converter (YAC512).

and yes it was the alsa.dsl

MY bois gives this:
wss i/o address=534h
sbpro i/o/address=220h
synthesizer i/o address=388h
wss+sbpro irq level=irq9
wss+sbpro dma
playback=channel 0
record=same as playback
control i/o address=120h

Soo......
modprobe opl3sa2 io=0x120 mss_io=0x534 [[no info-should i try this here? "mpu_io=0x330"]] irq=9 dma=0 dma2=0

if so, how do I set this to work every time? I assume I'll need this somewhere for the OS to see it at boot? I've never "made" a driver before. Its a hdd install.
