IBM TP600E Sound Not Working


I finally found a distro I like, everything works well except...sound. I looked for the answers on google as it seems everyone has this problem. It is recognized as cs46xx however, it should use cs42xx drivers. Hotplug recognizes it on boot at least from the errors I've seen so I blacklisted it. Well, I don't see the errors but in device manager I still see cs46xx being used. So I don't know if it did anything. I followed the instructions on the web and configured the modules.conf to read

alias char-major-14 snd
alias snd-minor-oss-0 snd-card-cs4236
alias snd-minor-oss-1 snd-opl3
alias snd-minor-oss-3 snd-pcm1-oss
options snd-card-cs4236 snd_port=0x530 snd_cport=0x538 snd_irq=5 snd_dma1=1 snd_dma2=0 snd_fm_port=0x388
alias sound off

Well, no luck. I tried to modprobe snd-card-cs4236 but it gives me a Fatal Error. I modprobed snd_cs4236. It gave me a not found error. So rather than patch what I've done wrong, can someone please help this noob "dummies" instruction on how get this sound to work on my IBM Thikpad 600e. I'm going on a week into this and about to revert back to Win or hammer my laptop...whichever one makes me feel better (likely the latter)

sound

Looks like you tried to use OSS first to configure the soundcard. What does lsmod read?

You need to remove any previous installation (OSS) before installing ALSA.

Then check out http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/
Cirrus Logic CS4236 driver

maybe this may help.

good luck
