Re: help needed for cs423x chips

[William Law Kar Wai <willaw79@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
  I once successfully configured the sound for the cs4236 sound chip.
Unfortunately I forgot how to configure it, but here is something that
I might recall. I was using Redhat 5.0. I downloaded OSSfree version
3.8. I first compiled the kernel without the sound support. Then I use
the isapnp tools to configure the pnp card, of course you have to edit
the files and enable certain configurations. After that, I decompress
the ossfree sound driver in the /usr/src/linux directory. Then I
recompile the kernel using the configuration I set in the isapnp.conf.
It once worked, even the MIDI and other stuff worked. But when I
reformatted the hard disk and reinstall everything, is doesn't work at
all. You can also try to download the ALSA sound driver. I heard that
it works. It supports your sound chips. I haven't try it yet, but soon.

Trying my best to help...

William,
Running Redhat 5.1
