Since I installed alsa-utils, the cs4232 driver hasn't loaded at
startup. Instead, I get a message from alsa saying "no soundcard
found".
lspnp outputs:
00 PNP0a03 PCI bus
01 PNP0c01 System board
02 PNP0c01 System board
03 PNP0000 AT programmable interrupt controller
04 PNP0100 AT system timer
05 PNP0200 AT DMA controller
06 PNP0303 IBM enhanced keyboard (101/102-key, PS/2 mouse support)
07 PNP0f13 PS/2 port for PS/2-style mice
08 PNP0800 AT-style speaker sound
09 PNP0b00 AT real-time clock
0a PNP0c04 Math coprocessor
0b PNP0e03 Intel 82365-compatible CardBus controller
0c PNP0501 16550A-compatible COM port
0d SMCf010 communications device: RS-232
0e PNP0401 ECP printer port
0f CSC0000 Crystal PnP audio system CODEC
10 CSC0010 Crystal PnP audio system control registers
11 PNP0700 PC standard floppy disk controller
lspnp -v 0f outputs:
0f CSC0000 Crystal PnP audio system CODEC
io 0x0530-0x0537
io 0x0388-0x038b
io 0x0220-0x022f
irq 5
dma 1
dma 0
lspnp -v 10 outputs:
10 CSC0010 Crystal PnP audio system control registers
io 0x0210-0x0217
So my command should be:
modprobe snd-cs4236 port=0x530 cport=0x210 dma1=1 dma2=0
Fails with the same error as modprobe snd-cs4236.
I've tried unloading all snd-* modules and soundcore, got the same error.
I found a page where a a guy used this commandline to get the same
soundcard to work:
modprobe snd-cs4236 port=0x530 cport=0x210 isapnp=0 dma1=0 dma2=5
This fails too.
pnpdump didn't exist on my system.
