Ok well im trying to install ALSA for my fortissimo II.
Just so I can get some idea's on how other people have gotten the Hercules Fortissimo 2 to work under Linux (Slackware 8.1). Loading the modprobe cs46xx module worked, but the sound was fairly crackly, and XMMS had cracked em and said something about Can't play sound, 1: Make sure the right plugin is selected, 2: Make sure theres nothing blocking your sound device and there was a 3 but i can't remember wat it was, hehe.
So i've decided to give ALSA a go to see if their modules and drivers can help at all.
I _think_ ive installed them using this guide:
http://www.alsa-project.org/~valenty...ini-HOWTO.html
Im up to this step: 5.3 modprobe for drivers without auto-probing (As it said for any of the CS modules See below which is this step.)
But when i try to load any of those modules, it throws back errors like:
bash-2.05a# modprobe snd-card-cs4232 snd_port=0x534 snd_cport=0x120 snd_mpu_port=-1 snd_fm_port=0x388 snd_jport=-1 snd_irq=5 snd_dma1=0 snd_dma1_size=60 snd_dma2=1 snd_dma2_size=60
Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.18/modules.dep
/lib/modules/2.4.18/misc/snd-card-cs4232.o: invalid parameter parm_snd_jport
/lib/modules/2.4.18/misc/snd-card-cs4232.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18/misc/snd-card-cs4232.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18/misc/snd-card-cs4232.o: insmod snd-card-cs4232 failed
hrmmmmm...and when i did a lspci -vv i get this for my sound card:

please tell me somebody has some ideas on how to get this going!
