Hi,
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.
The dmesg output says that my drivers are not moduled in the kernel. Therefore, I did make xconfig and looked it up. I moduled the relevant drivers and did make dep, make modules, make modules_install etc and created new boot images and recompiled. The recompiled kernel clobbered my linux as I could not access any services at all, let alone sound. I restored the earlier images and kernel files from backups and was able to restore my system to it's original configuration, but still not getting any sound.
Since I am new to Linux, I do not know details about linux kernels and how to compile them properly, despite my following the LINUX KERNEL HOWTO doc to the hilt. I am in dire need of assistance from a more knowledgeable linux user/administrator who can instruct me on what to do.
Thanks, AR

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,

you know that your sound is not working? Do a "ls -l /dev/sound"
output of ls -l /dev/sound
ls: /dev/sound: No such file or directory

anything is there. I have wasted some time on my friend comp, before realizing it was mute-ed.
I verified the absence of sound my running aumix -q to see if it was muted. I got:
error opening mixer!

Try "modprobe cs46xx" too. Another thing to try would be "depmod cs46xx". I am an expert in these matters myself, and these are the things that have helped me a couple of times, so please bear my trial-and-error approach.

I meant, I am *not* and expert.
I tried to do the same thing using snd-cs46xx. I even told drakconf to module it.
Nothing happened.

It seems, CS4610 on PCI is handled by snd-cs46xx not cs46xx [http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2003-01/msg05701.php]. lspci should tell you if its on PCI or not. try "modprobe snd-cs46xx".
