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

--- Quote from: gadget42 on November 21, 2024, 06:17:59 AM ---@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.

I wonder which one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_live_CDs
since my PC is very old and modern distributions run modern kernels.
I'll find the necessary time to try some of them.

these were fun reads and so sharing:

@t18, with regards to another version for testing purposes, i was reminded of this post on a previous thread:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27320.msg175886.html#msg175886
and so you could try out TinyCore-4.7.7.iso from:

stumbled across a thread post from 2015 that probably doesn't solve current issues but still shows the sound beast for what it has always been...sigh:

I'm not sure this driver ever worked reliably without manual set-up. This script from 2006 is for configuring it automatically but might be broken on current Linux:
https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Script_for_configuring_the_CS4239_sound_chip_in_PnP_mode
The key thing is that you need to pull the port addresses out of /sys/bus/pnp/devices/ and use them in the modprobe command like Rich demonstrated. Win95 might also show them but that screenshot seemed too vague.

I've tried TCL 4.7.7 but no way: "no soundcards found".
I've also installed Debian 4.0 kernel 2.6 that detects the card with errors:
DMESG:
--- Code: ---isapnp: Card 'CS4232'
ad1848: PnP reports 'CS4232' at i/o 0x534, irq 5, dma 1, 3

cs4232: Must set io, irq and dma.

CS4232 soundcard not found or device busy

Modprobing it results in "no such card".
I'll try older kernels asap.
