Re: help needed for cs423x chips

[D Sen <dsen@research.att.com>]

If you are running Window$, you can use the control panel to find out the
IRQ/IO Port/DMA. Once you have that info, you have a few different choices
to get sound going. Look at http://www.levien.com/tp600.html for a
description.

Good luck,
