I've been surfing the net all day, and it seems to be very common, and just about everything I try doesn't work.. the closest I got to it working was when I did:

modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9, but then dmesg reports, about synthio, and synirq should be set to wavefront facility, which I don't understand in the least bit. any help is appreciated.. and I'm running Slackware 9.1, 2.4.22..

have you tried alsaconf?

yes, but my computer crashes when it goes to probe for my card.

may have found it.

taken from this thread.

have a look at these threads, looks like people have this working.

I cam across some of that stuff in my googling, but not of it worked. the synthio=0x220, quiets down the message about ``synthio, and synirq should be set to wavefront facility'', but it still has no luck, but now it's saying that there is no such device -sighs-

when exactly does it say no such device? is it during the modprobe or does that goe alright.

when I do:

modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 synthio=0x220 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9 isapnp=0 # (found the isapnp out thru modinfo )

anyway the output is:
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o.gz: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ paramaters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o.gz: insmod cs4232 failed

dmesg reports:
isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
isapnp: No Plug & Play devices found
ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
ad1848: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...

syslog doesn't report anything.

sorry, no ideas. is it possible the card is bad. i ran into something similar w/ a video card. turned out the card was bad.
anyway, ill keep looking around, maybe someone else will have a fresh thought.

Well, the card isn't bad, because it was just working on Windows XP, and thanks for the help anyway

just one other thought, is the bios set to plug n play os = no? i looked through a ton of threads, and the ibm website has some good info. all the settings you passed during modprobe looked good. as i stated before i'll keep looking around.

is the bios set to pnp os? hmm? I never seen anything in the bios about pnp os???
