CS4232 sound questions

CS4232 sound questions

[Phil Smith]

I have come to the pont of having to mail this list in search of a greater
understanding of what I could possibably be doing wrong in reguards to 
enabling my sound card.  Under 2.2.X I was able to include the cards 
configuration during the config, yes, I understand that this has changed
in opt for other methods.  These methods though are very strange and 
somewhat unclear in the current documentation set.  I have tried several
possible built-in and modular configs with the results being the same, below 
I will include information that may or may not be what is necessary to get 
possible solutions to this, but odd or exact suggestions will be greatly 
appreciated.  Thank you,  Phil Smith

14 sound       shows in /proc/devices


initial lines from /proc/isapnp   (all sound card coresponding devices
show as "not active"  activation can be achieved via isapnptools and
no sound working from that):

Card 1 'CSC0b35:CS4236B Audio' PnP version 1.0 Product version 0.1
  Logical device 0 'CSC0000:WSS/SB'
      Device is not active
      Resources 0
      Priority preferred
      Port 0x534-0x534, align 0x3, size 0x4, 16-bit address decoding


P.S. I perfer to not use modules for sound, that may be odd, I'm not sure 
about that, but I see no reason why what I have chosen to use, not to work, 
I can only hope that I have missed an important note somewhere and a simple 
answer will raise its head.

Hi

...maybe it is a bit off-topic here, sorry guys! Phil, you better asked
this Q on comp.os.linux.hardware / setup / whatever, am I right?

I got this card working fine with 2.4.x. Currently configured as modules,
I even managed to get them to autoload. Looks like you (also) are using
OSS. So, will try to recap main points of my configuration (that box is
at home): 

in .config sound, OSS, CS4232, OPL3 - all as modules (to produce sound.o,
soundcore.o, cs4232.0, ad1848.o, uart401.o, opl3.o - I think)

Although in .config I DO have PnP enabled, I am still running isapnp on
startup (perhaps I don't need to do that, do I?)

in modules.conf
alias char-major-14 cs4232
pre-install cs4232 modprobe "-k" sound
post-install cs4232 modprobe "-k" opl3
options cs4232 ... (IO, dma, IRQ,...)

I think, this is it. May be I confused something above - but you should be
able to guess what I meant:-) If not - I'll send you the exact
config. lines from home.

Re: CS4232 sound update

With the removal of the pnp selection, it worked, answered in another post to another topic, the 3c509 sb issue, almost as if isapnp is grabing the card its self and holding on in some way.  Thank you Phil
