help needed for cs423x chips
alright, i cant get my sound to work. i have an aopen MB with built on sound and video. sound chip says cs4235 on the chip but isapnp detects as 4236. i have tried different settings with isapnp and different modules for sound support....i have also tried without modules and just ocmpiling into kernel...i have tried configuration manager alone and with isapnp and modules...basically i was trying about everything i could think...only problem being that i dont know that much yet and therefore am running out off ideas...plus it is taking time to learn stuff to try different things....not that i mind the knowledge but i would like to get sound working quickly =)
so if anyone could spare the time to help i would appreciate it. i am fairly knowledgeable with linux, i just mainly need to know what to do...(i guess basically a brief howto sort of answer would be cool, detailing the steps enough that i can understand. eg: say
tar xvf blahblahbalh
not just "decompress with gzip and then use tar on it."
thanks again.

Hi,
I once successfully configured the sound for the cs4236 sound chip.
Unfortunately I forgot how to configure it, but here is something that I might recall. I was using Redhat 5.0. I downloaded OSSfree version 3.8. I first compiled the kernel without the sound support. Then I use the isapnp tools to configure the pnp card, of course you have to edit the files and enable certain configurations. After that, I decompress the ossfree sound driver in the /usr/src/linux directory. Then I recompile the kernel using the configuration I set in the isapnp.conf. It once worked, even the MIDI and other stuff worked. But when I reformatted the hard disk and reinstall everything, is doesn't work at all. You can also try to download the ALSA sound driver. I heard that it works. It supports your sound chips. I haven't try it yet, but soon.
Trying my best to help...
William,

Hello,
I don't have much of an idea, but : an ALSA (advanced linux sound
architecture) page at http://alsa.jcu.cz/alsa/driver-source/INSTALL
seems to indicate that chips cs4235 and cs4236 have the same driver.
Good luck,
Etienne

The trick seems to be in getting the dma/irq settings tweaked just right.
I have a Dell Latitude CP (laptop) here with such a beast in it. It took me ages to get the sound going with the kernel sound driver - but I finally did it :)
It's running RedHat 5.2 (standard kernel from the install), but I have no idea how "generic" this solution is.
The most important thing is to get /etc/conf.modules right. This is what I have in it...
# turn off unwanted net stuff... alias net-pf-3 off # no ax25 alias net-pf-4 off # no ipx alias net-pf-5 off # no appletalk alias net-pf-6 off # no netrom # for the CDROM... alias iso9660 isofs # sound driver alias sound cs4232 options -k cs4232 io=0x530 dma=1 dma2=0 irq=5 # no midi yet :(
This works for the audio driver, but I have yet to get the midi to work.
(Any hints on how to do this would be most appreciated - please Cc any replies from linux-laptop as I'm not subscribed to that list, thanx).
Cheers
Tony
If you are running Window$, you can use the control panel to find out the IRQ/IO Port/DMA. Once you have that info, you have a few different choices to get sound going. Look at http://www.levien.com/tp600.html for a description.
Good luck,
DSs

Audio support of the CS4235 with the existing CS4232 driver will not work because the 4235 does not support ulaw, alaw or adpcm. sequencer support probably doesn't work for any of the crystal chips because of a
code ordering problem in cs4232.c. I'm attaching a patch file for
2.1.131 which fixes these problems on my CS4235.
As Tony and Keith point out, all the settings must be correct. I use:
modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9 modprobe opl3 io=0x388
Let me know how this works.

It definitely fixes the problem of the sequencer not working, but I've also been getting messages about the OSS stuff needing to downgrade the number of voices used, and I've also been getting breaks in music from tracker and mpg123 when I scroll down in a web page. I'm just about to confirm that these are from the patch by reversing it and testing the official module.

Well, I've certainly done _something_. I've reversed the patch, but the sequencer is still working. Just goes to show...
