Re: Got sound going on a U60 debian smp
Thanks for the worthwhile suggestions
after checking modprobe -v cs4231
I got some errors showing that this wasn't working at all ... (missing
symbols etc..)
I then found some info on the module you suggested cs4231 and followed a
couple of steps to get my card producing output
rmmod soundcore
insmod audio
insmod cs4231
audioctl -f /dev/audio -w play.port=headphone
lsmod output showed
Module Size Used by Not tainted
cs4231 21936 0
audio 23744 1 [cs4231]
ac97_codec 16752 0 (unused)
openprom 5312 0 (autoclean)
lp 8728 0 (autoclean)
parport 34064 0 (autoclean) [lp]
autofs4 10236 0 (unused)
hid 17336 0 (unused)
plugging headphones in and catting a raw audio file produced sound
except it sounds like jimmy Hendrix.
I guess now I have to set levels using either audioctl or a mixer.
or added cs4231 to /etc./modules ? Have you set the PARAMS variable
I was wondering what exactly to put in here and how this works
I still have to track down some documentation for this but I found
someone elses config that had the following in it
char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 cs4232
alias sound-service-0-0 sound # mixer
alias sound-service-0-3 sound # /dev/dsp & /dev/audio
alias sound-service-0-6 sound # /dev/sndstat
options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 # numbers may vary
This is probably wrong for my setup but I ithink I need to understand
whats going on before I go down this road.
like wise for this recomendation
Have you set the PARAMS variable
PARAMS="play.port=line_out"
in /etc./default/audioctl ?
Thanks for this info I will try to find some documentation on these
files and parameters and go from there.
I am now working on the following.
1. Get the sound card playing raw at the correct level.
2. get xmms working with the sound card ... Currently raw files work
but I think I am having issues using OSS pointing at /dev/audio (producing
noise not music (could be sending wrong format to the device)
3. set this up for my user to be a member of the audio group for
playback and mixing.
Hopefully then I will be able to sort out everyone else in Our Co
running the same setup!
Thanks Again Steve

dear list members,
Has anyone managed to get sound going on there U60. I cant :( but would
like to.
currently I am running 2.4.24-sparc64-smp kernel. I have tried with some
standard PCI sound cards
besides the on-board one but would prefer to use the on-board if this works.
Any help would be appreciated
What are the failure symptoms and what PCI cards have you tried?
A U60's onboard sound does work with Linux; and the modules provided
with the Sparc64 2.4 kernel suggest that two types of PCI soundcards
should work: ones based on a particular Trident chipset and ones based
on a chipset used in Creative Soundblaster PCI and possibly Ensoniq
Audio PCI cards.
For onboard sound have you done
modprobe cs4231
or added cs4231 to /etc/modules ? Have you set the PARAMS variable
PARAMS="play.port=line_out"
in /etc/default/audioctl ?
In any Debian install a user account has to be a member of the "audio"
group for the mixer or playback to work for that user.
The mixer's volume level may default to 0.
