That third line is the card settings.

I had the exact the same hardward and software and sound problem. this thread solved my problem. thank you!

I am new to linux and have the same problem as the other posters in this thread. I have tried the suggestions above, but have had no success so far. It seems that my install cannot recognise that there even is a built in sound card. When I enter the 'lsmod' command it does seem that there is a loaded CS4232 module... that is, it appears in the list of items returned. However, when I enter the 'lspci -vv' command I do not see any text identifying the irq settings, etc. for a sound card of any kind. The ethernet card, on-board video, ide ports, etc. appear, but no sound card. Just to recap: the computer I have is a Dell Optiplex GX1 (PII 400) with on-board video and sound and my distribution is Red Hat 8.0.

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

P.S. A hard drive with 'another' operating system installed can get sound from this machine so I don't think that it is a hardware issue.

Hi !

Dell Optiplex GX1
Red Hat Linux 8.0

lspci doesnṫ identify a sound card.
The chip is a CS4236B.

since lspci doesnt show any IRQ etc, where can I find the details ?
You keep refering to CS4232 on this thread. instead of CS4236. Why ?
This linux module caters for both ?

I thought that this adapter was Crystal Ausdio. But people keep refering to it as SB Live ? (Even Dell !)

Help would be greatly appreciated !

Hi

Dell Optiplex GX1
Integrated CS4236B sound controller.
Red Hat Linux 8.0

lspci -vv
No sign of the sound adapter.
I think because its integrated. Correct ?

I read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/CS4232

But how do I determine the address IRQ and DMA values ?

Qu Why do we use CS4232 when the chip is CS4236 ?

Grateful for any help.

regards

Chris

(not sure if this thread is dead, but...)

Given that I can use:

modprobe sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0

to enable sound on my RH8 box... how do I go about making it such that RH8 automatically starts with these drivers?

Hi Guys !

A search of the www sent me to :

file:///root/sndconfig/sndconfig.html

A solution is to dowload sndconfig and execute it.
It checks for the sound adapter (in this case integrated), runs a n audio output test, confirm if correct.
And wiz bang it updates the Red Hat files and the pain is almost gone.

The only reminant of the problem is that the Gnome desktop soundcard detect utility
still reports that there are no sound cards installed.

Whew Im so glad thatś fixed.
What a pain !

Regards

Chris

I am not quite a newbie but my head is sore from beating against the wall!

I have the same problem, but the responses posted here are not working for me.
Scenario:
Dell GX1 with fedora core 1 installed
redhat-config-soundcard cannot find a device
the onboard soundacard (cs4232) is enabled in the bios
cs4232 is found in dmesg (output below)
lspci -vv does not see it (output below)
modprobe cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=3 results in now output to the screen but cs4232 is loaded (output below)

Thoughts?!?! Help!!!
Does someone have a working config file I can copy? Would that work?
Thanks!

I just installed RH9 on a Dell Optiplex, and am unable to use the steps listed above to enable my sound card on this system.

When I run lsmod, I get

"bash: lsmod: command not found"

When I run lspci, I get

"bash: lspci: command not found"

When I run modprobe, I get

"bash: modprobe: command not found"

Is there a specific directory that I need to run these commands from? I appreciate any information!

Thanks!

Hi all!

I found the solution for this issue by installing sndconfig. This allowed me to hear sound on my RH9 system, which is better than my Mandrake 9.2 system!!!

Thanks for the suggestion cgtueno!

Hope this helps others!
