HI all,
Have a problem with sound cards containing these chips. Problem Description -------------------------------- 2.2.18pre15 kernel already had a cs4232.o to load but failed with "device or resource busy" error. 1. tried "modprobe cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma=0" 2. response "Device or resource busy"; "insmod .... failed" 3. tried alsaconf (tried cs4232 and cs423x drivers) with above settings + MPU-401 irq=5, pnp io=0x120, DMA size (4k and 64k) 4. response "alsa driver was not loaded" 5. tried sndconfig 6. response "cannot detect card, specify manually" 7. specify in sndconfig io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma=0 mpu=0x330 mpu irq=5 8. response "sound related drivers already in /etc/modules.conf"; "delete appropriate files in /etc/modutils and re-run update modutils" Here's my PC setup: -------------------------------- DELL Optiplex GX1 Pentium III-500 192Mb RAM 15GB Hard Disk (Win98, 2 partitions) 4GB Hard Disk (Linux) Sound Chip (Crystal-423x, as reported by Progeny Install), on motherboard Here's my LInux setup ----------------------------------- 1. Installed Potato 2. Installed Helix Gnome (now Ximian) 3. Installed Progeny 1.0 Kernel: 2.2.18pre15 Boot: using GRUB Modules Installed: ---------------------------- AC97 codec OSS Sound Support OSS SoundCore Yamaha (or something) MPU-401 support Sound-related software installed: ------------------------------------------------- Alsaconf 0.4.x (latest from apt-get) sndconfig Sound "card" settings as reported by Win 98 (Device Manager) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cyrstal Codec: I/O 0x534 - 0x537 IRQ 5 DMA 1 DMA 0 I/O 0x388 - 0x38B Crystal System Control registers: I/O 0xF00 - 0xF07 MPU-401: I/O 0x330 - 0x331 Any help here to get it started (either ALSA or sndconfig or modprobe.... I'm not fussy :-) would be greatly appreciated. I tried google and read many suggestions (all of them reflected by my attempts above), but to no avail. Could some kind soul please help me? I have looked through debian-user's archives till Aug. 2000 but nothing on this was ever mentioned. I really would like to get sound up and running. I appear to have exhausted most of the web on this topic. Please, please, please, someone help. I think Debian's great for all other software installations, but sound support on debian is not as automated as I would have liked it to be. Thanks for your attention and time. Best regards Carl Tan.
