Problem with cs4232.o

Problem with cs4232.o

[Miles Lane]

Hi,

I have a Crystal Audio CS4232 sound card in my Quantex H-1331 laptop.
I have built my own kernel using 2.2.0-pre7ac and the rest of the
OS is installed from the RPMs on rawhide.redhat.com.  I also have
Gnome installed from the 0.99.2 files.

The problem is that when I start up X, if I try to use the sound card
a get a popping sound from the speakers and STDERR shows a messages
stating that the program couldn't access /dev/dsp.  If I then run
"rmmod cs4232 ; probemod cs4232", the sound card works fine.

This leads me to think that my soundcard driver settings are fine.
However, I don't know why the driver needs to be unloaded and reloaded
before the driver can be accessed successfully.  Perhaps it's a side
effect of loading Gnome, but I don't think so.

Let me know if you have suggestions.

Thanks!

	Miles

That means its being used by something

If you have esd running then yes

Alan,

I checked into this.  When I boot the system,
the drivers load as I described earlier.
If I then attempt to run "esd" before starting X,
I get this error:

	Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?

I get this error running as root or from my user account.

Also, after starting X, if I try running xgalaga, I either
get the "Cannot access /dev/dsp" or I get what sound like
a sequence of short sound loops that slowly mutate.

Weird.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Alan, thanks for your feedback thus far.   Please see if you can
figure what's wrong by examining this addition system info.

	THANKS!

A reminder:  this is the problem where I get the
	Sound: DMA (output) timed out -IRQ/DRQ config error?
when accessing my sound card after booting and logging in.

Unloading the cs4232.o module and then running "modprobe cs4232" 
fixes the problem.  I'd like to fix this so the driver loads 
correctly on boot.

I'd guess that pcmcia is stomping on the card ports 
(and perhaps IRQ/DMA channels) when it gets loaded.
Try editing /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, and changing
the "include port" line from "0x100-0x4ff"  (the default)
to "0x100-0x1ff". (You'd have to unload/reload pcmcia to
have this take effect, and possibly reboot.)
Does this help?
