I have recently installed the open source distro of Linux Mandrake on my IBM Thinkpad 770Z Laptop on a journalised ext3 partition together with win XP on an NTFS partition. My soundcard is a crystal Semiconductors cirrus logic card whose specs are given below:
Cirrus CS4610/1 CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio
The mandrake conf tool says that the required driver is labelled cs46xx, and that it has been moduled in the kernel, but I am getting no sounds at all. The hardware is fine, because I get sound when I boot to XP.
Mandrake does come with cs46xx module so no need to compile. Try lsmod as root and see if it gets loaded by default. And if it doesnt, try to "insmod cs46xx". If it loads without error, you are good. This brings me to, how do you know that your sound is not working? Do a "ls -l /dev/sound" and see if anything is there. I have wasted some time on my friend comp, before realizing it was mute-ed.
HTH,
