Help configuring a CS4236 to work with Linux

[Simon J Mudd]

This list looks by the archives to be quiet.  However i'm not really sure
where else to post to get help solving this problem. If there's a better
list please let me know.

I need help configuring a cs4236 WSS/SB on motherboard (2a6ilpca) TL-SI21-2M
03/25/1999-SiS-5600-2A6ILPCAC-00.

I've spent some time looking at this but can't find the right combination
to make things work.

Currently running RedHat 9 with  2.4.20

Symptoms:
	Redhat's sndconfig produces output (appears to be ok), but
	mpg321 somefile.mp3 gives:

ad1848: Auto calibration timed out (3)
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

and then I get a hard hang. Reset to reboot is necessary.

I've been Googling and found lots of things, but no changes to the
current script seem to produce different results:

# [0] doesn't work
# [1] doesn't work
# [2] doesn't work
insmod soundcore
insmod sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
#insmod cs4232 isapnp=1 [0]
#insmod mpu401 io=0x330 irq\x11 [1]
#insmod cs4232 isapnp=0 io=0x534 irq=9 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuirq\x11 mpuio=0x330 [1]
#insmod cs4232 isapnp=0 io=0x534 irq=9 dma=1 dma2=0 [2]
insmod cs4232 isapnp=0 io=0x534 irq=9 dma=1 dma2=3
insmod opl3 io=0x388

If anyone has got this motherboard and got the sound working under
Linux please contact me with your working configuration.

Thanks for any pointers. I'd love to get this working.

Re: Help configuring a CS4236 to work with Linux

[rautenkranzmt]

Simon,

Having reviewed your settings incl., i wonder, with the pnpdump... does 
your system run isapnp at start? and have you edited /etc/isapnp.conf to 
reflect any settings at all for your sound card? red hat's sndconfig 
does it automatically, and chooses it's own settings (in my experience), 
but i've never seen it apply isapnp settings to the conf file.

this corresponds exactly to the kind of trouble i was having a couple 
years back with my opl-sa3 pnp card. i edited isapnp.conf (see 'man 
isapnp.conf'), and had it load in rc.local. my problem was fixed.

Hello Michael,

Initially I didn't do anything (didn't add anything to /etc/modules.conf),
didn't have /etc/isapnp.conf, or have isapnptools on my machine) and let
RedHat's sndconfig "do it's stuff".

Running sndconfig gave me:
Model: Crystal codec: GAME
Can you hear the sample sound? I could so I typed yes. sndconfig modified
/etc/modules.conf adding:

alias sound-slot-0 cs4232
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove   sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
options sound dmabuf=1
alias synth0 opl3
options opl3 io=0x330
options cs4232 isapnp=1

Running the mpg321 somefile.mp3 _hung_ the machine.

I tried again, setting the values by hand, being able to choose options:

I/O Port IRQ DMA 1 DMA 2 MPU I/O MPU IRQ
0x530    5   0     0     0x330   5
0x534    7   1     1     0x300   7

Selecting 0x534,5,1,1,0x330,7

(note: IRQ 5 is being used by usb-ohci and I wasn't able to select IRQ 9
where /proc/interrupts tells me the cs4232 is "listening").

This didn't seem to work either, so I started looking around on the web
for "help", downloaded isapnptools from source and tried setting the
options by hand.

To be honest I don't really understand the isapnp.conf config file very
well, nor am I sure what I need to configure exactly, so I may well be
doing something obviously wrong.

To play "mp3 audio" I think I don't need to have the mpu401 configured,
and as I mentioned before while the IRQ and I/O port settings seem clear
to me (IRQ 9 and 0x534 appears to be what the card wants) I'm unsure about
the dma1 and dma2 settings.

Perhaps the problem is that I am unable to correctly interpret the
/proc/isapnp values to enable me to configure the card correctly.

Thanks for any insight you can give me.

DMA1 and DMA2 must be different values

i would suggest 0x534,5,0,1,0x330,7

OK. I'll try these values. Unfortunately the redhat sound config
doesn't explain the values and I don't now have Windows installed on
the machine to see how Windows configured the sound.

Thanks again.
