This probably indicates that the OSS part wasn't running properly. Did you run the snddevices script ??? > I've since reformated and have instaled Mandrake 9.0 Beta 4.

The only options you can pass to it are snd_external_amp and snd_thinkpad. But it seems to find a Crystal chipset on IRQ 11. Perhaps you should try: modprobe snd-cs4236 snd_port=0x220 snd_irq=11 snd_dma=1 I don't know what the options snd_cport & snd_dma2 are for, but normally you shouldn't need those (I think :) > Please help!! :) Trying to :) But don't shoot me if it doesn't work, I never installed linux on a laptop before.
