Crystal Semiconductors CS4232 sound card: is it possible to configure it?

[gadget42]

this knoppix forum thread seems to suggest that 3.2 might have been faulty to begin with:

Hi t18

... Unforunately there is no sound player on that distro, just a sound converter (sox). ...

sox also includes a file called play:

Code: [Select]

can't open /dev/dsp
I'll try to install Oss if possible.

[t18]

I've found the following instructions:

https://ftp.sotirov-bg.net/pub/mirrors/slackware/slackware-4.0/docs/linux-2.2.6/sound/CS4232

and thanks to them I've been able to play some wav files on Slackware.

Now I'd like to do the same on TCL, but it seems the commands and modules aren't the same.

Hi t18
I think you will need to go back to TC4.7.7. and install alsa-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz.
I believe the modules you need are:
snd-ad1848.ko.gz
snd-mpu401-uart.ko.gz
snd-cs4236.ko.gz

But first:

... and thanks to them I've been able to play some wav files on Slackware. ...

Once you have sound working in Slackware:

Code: [Select]

dmesg > dmesg.txt
lsmod > lsmod.txt
>dev.txt; for dev in /sys/bus/pnp/devices/*; do DEV=$(grep CS $dev/id) && printf "%s = %s\n%s\n\n" $DEV $dev "$(cat $dev/resources)" >> dev.txt; doneI recommend you copy/paste that last one.

Then:
Post any commands you had to enter to get sound to work (modprobe, cp ,del, etc.).
Attach dmesg.txt, lsmod.txt, and dev.txt to your post.

Hi t18
Here's the best I can come up with:
Go back to TC4.7.7.

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi alsa-config
tce-load -wi alsa
Check tce/onboot.lst and make sure alsa-config.tcz and
alsa.tcz are listed in that order.

Reboot.

Make sure no drivers auto-loaded:

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe -r cs4232
sudo modprobe -r uart401
sudo modprobe -r ad1848
Load the modules:

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe snd-ad1848
sudo modprobe snd_cs4236 isapnp=0 dma1=1 irq=5 cport=0x120 port=0x534 fm_port=0x388 enable=1 index=0

Code: [Select]

alsactl init
speaker-test [-Ddefault:1] -c2 -t wav -l1
Then attach a new dmesg.txt

[t18]

Dmesg.txt attached.

I'm not lucky.
