Hi all,

I just installed DSL 1.5 to my my IBM Thinkpad 600 hard drive. It looks great and everything works, except the sound. I think it uses the Crystal cs4236 chipset. Does anybody have a idea how to get it working? With Slackware Current on another hard drive I got it working by using alsaconf. any help would be great.

Joel,
welcome back..

Search for cs4232 in the forums..
I have many posts about using crystal chipsets ..

Also, I recall some special needs for the IBM 600's
You might search for that as a keyword too..

I don't recall which section, but it was pretty detailed about
getting sound on a 600 working.. step-by-step stuff..

Of course, alsa will probably work,
but the OSS seems to do the job too, without loading the alsa stuff..

this for my 380ed but it may work for you

here is my /opt/bootlocal.sh
_
rmmod soundcore
rmmod cs4232
modprobe sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5
__

note this though io=0x534 dont know why it needs the 534 not 530 but that made it work i used windoze to discover that
but never a problem now
the bios said 530 but it didnt work
all works fine now

for my old stinkpad 380ED
works bangin good

Thanks for the response, I think I will give k9wkj's post a try only changing the cs4232 with cs4236 and see if that works. This is sort of what I was doing before with a older laptop and a different chipset.

BTW Kent, I search all over the place and kept coming back to my own post, I wonder if the info you were talking about got purged. Oh well, I am confident that with all you guys helping we will succeed! Jee but it's great to be back home after being cast into the world of Winblows all summer.
