I started out with the 0.9.0rc1 package. The snd-cs4236.o module wouldn't load. It just resulted in a message like "kernel: CS4236+ soundcard not found or device busy" in the system log. Then i found out that the cs4236 driver was missing the pnp id of my card. I gathered the information from /proc/isapnp and added the line: ISAPNP_CS4232('C','S','C',0xe936,0x0000,0x0010,0x0003), to the list of pnpids in cs4236.c Now the module could load, and I could even play some music... problem was now, that the sound wasn't audible. I turned up the volume for all channels in alsamixer and that actually made a difference. Now i could hear the music but extremely low. It is like the output is muted or something needs to be turned up. Also in a program like "kmix" the master volume is missing... strange. Today i have tried with a cvs snapshot from 8th may. To get the module to load i did the same as before but i additionally had to uncomment the lines: if (ver1 != ver2) { snd_printk("CS4236+ chip detected, but control port 0x%lx is not valid\n", cport); snd_device_free(card, chip); return -ENODEV; } in cs4236_lib.c. Otherwise it would just always give that message in the log when loading the module. I now have the same result as before. In addition to the cs4236 card i also have a Terratec 128i (ESS Solo-1, snd-es1938.o) which is working perfectly with alsa. The cs4236 is working correctly with OSS using the cs4232 driver. I can supply more information on request like contents of /proc/isapnp and stuff like that. Just ask! Thomas Petersen _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
