Benny, Thanks for your help - actually I hadn't tried the thinkpad=1 option, but when I do, I now get:
# modprobe snd-cs46xx thinkpad=1 ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_lib.c:3951: Activating CLKRUN hack for Thinkpad. ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_lib.c:416: cs46xx: failure waiting for FIFO command to complete I haven't been able to get any sound, as no /dev/dsp device is created and the /dev/sound directory under devfs only has the two entries "dmmidi" and "midi". The puzzling thing is that until this last reinstall, I had not had any problems like this at all. If fact, I just got my thinking cap on and tried Knoppix 3.2 - it worked! I don't know what version of Alsa drivers it runs however, and I couldn't find out very easily on the Knoppix site or through searching the sound modules... If anyone has other ideas, please let me know. In the meantime I think I will try the 0.9.5 version and see if that helps.

I know that there's is hack made for the Thinkpad in the driver, but i dont exactly what it does, did you pass the "thinkpad=1" parameter to the module ? Apart from the error messages, did you get any sound from the card on any of your attempts ?? /Benny NOTICE: This electronic mail transmission may contain confidential information and is intended only for the person(s) named.
