Your sound card does not seem to appear in the list.
Are you sure it's still installed?

Check the BIOS:
Are there settings for sound? Enabled? IRQs? DMA?
Is there a setting for Plug n Play OS?

Maybe the sound card has some manufacturer and model number markings.
What is the make and model of the computer?

Since it's working on Win95 (same machine, dual boot) I assume everything in the BIOS is set properly.


BIOS type:


--- Code: ---AMIBIOS (C)1992 American Megatrends, Inc.
BIOS Version 1.00.07.CL0
--- End code ---


Grub screen:


--- Code: ---*core
Win95
--- End code ---


BIOS errors on boot:


--- Code: ---ACPI BIOS Error (bug): A valid RSDP was not found
intel_powerclamp: CPU does not support MWAIT[
mce: Unable to init MCE device (rc: -5)
--- End code ---


Dmesg attached.

searching at DDG for "linux 01:01: card 'CS4232'"(double-quotes just for clarity of forum post, not used for the search) gives multiple results.

here are a few:

Hi t18
Looks like your card is being detected as ISA, but nothing's
being assigned to it.

Try loading the driver like this:

--- Code: ---modprobe snd_cs4236 isapnp=0 dma1=1 irq=5 cport=0x120 port=0x534 fm_port=0x388 enable=1 index=0
--- End code ---

To see all of the parameters available for this driver:

--- Code: ---modinfo snd_cs4236 | grep -E "^parm:"
--- End code ---

t18:
No way:  "cannot find card 0" again.

I've tried to replace cport=0x120 with 0x220 (blind attempt, please see the attached win95 settings) but unsuccessfully.

My PC is an assembled PC. At that time the sound card was optional and PCs had a built-in speaker. Might it interfere somehow?

gadget42:
@t18, have you tried any other *nix Live distro(s)? or even an older TCL?

if we found a *nix where the soundcard worked "out-of-the-box" then we could establish a possible point of failure.
