Hi everyone, I am trying to get a pdaudiocf CF card with a MIC 2496, from Core Sound, working on my x86 ( Dell c600 ) laptop. I'm running a linux, redhat 9, kernel up to 2.4.25, and the very latest version of alsa, ie
(blondie:fortin:asound) pwd /proc/asound (blondie:fortin:asound) cat version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.3rc2. Compiled on Feb 25 2004 for kernel 2.4.25cf with versioned symbols.

I believe I followed the directions at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Core+Sound&card=PDAudio-CF&chip=pdaudiocf&module=pdaudiocf exactly. So ... is Core Sound PDAudio-CF at 0x100, irq 3 the correct addr and irq? And 'Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG' Following hits I've seen online, when I modprobe snd-mixer-oss modprobe snd-seq-oss modprobe snd-pcm-oss modprobe snd-seq-dummy Then [EMAIL PROTECTED] modules]# cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.3rc2 emulation code) Kernel: Linux blondie 2.4.25cf #9 Wed Feb 25 13:39:45 EST 2004 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: Core Sound PDAudio-CF at 0x100, irq 3 Audio devices: 0: Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: mixer00 and [EMAIL PROTECTED] modules]# cat /dev/audio cat: /dev/audio: Input/output error also [EMAIL PROTECTED] modules]# cat /etc/modules.conf # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-pdaudiocf # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias eth0 3c59x alias usb-controller usb-uhci At no time do either of the lights on the CF card come on. On the MIC, I see a light if i toggle on the 48v power. Can anyone give me a hand getting this to work?
