I no longer have any ISA enabled machines... most of this is from memory
and reading the man pages and other references. I remember most
stinkpads had Crystal Audio in them... but I could be wrong.


princess:~# modprobe -l | grep cs423

Here are the things I'd start with:

        apt-gte install pnputils
        lspnp -v | grep -e audio -e crystal

Look for something like codec or card Look for the prefix (first 2
character, should be in hex) Like B0 or 1E or something like that. Once
you discover that prefix do it for each prefix except the joystick (the
joystick and the MPU401 would conflict):

        setpnp $prefix_number on

If that gives you an error, I haven't been able to determine if that is
because I no longer have ISA in the machine I am trying or not. But in
any case, you should make sure you load the proper "snd-cs-423[1|2|6]"
module with apropos settings. Which right now escapes me.

Just found a possibly apropos thing on the Ubuntu forums (see
*SOMETIMES* forums do work):

        http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=230076

Its old, but it still might work for you.
