Other Help Topics :: Tool to config soundcard.

Yes !!! a great find.. Tnx fer sharing.

I saw similar info at dag.wieers about my laptop.
IBM 770 Thinkpad. - setup for Redhat 7.1

Another posting elsewhere suggested to
sudo to root in a terminal,
add your alias and option lines to /etc/modutils/aliases,
save, and THEN run update-modules for debian-type OS.

Worked like a champ for me on two different old laptops.
IBM 770 - cs4232 soundcard
Compaq Preasario 1622 - ess 18xx soundcard.

There are SO many posts throughout this site about
sound card issues. I hope this info can be placed in a more
prominent place for people to find.

Here are the alias and option lines to add for the
IBM thinkpad 770/765/etc. line of laptops.

alias synth0 opl3
options sound dmabuf=1
options opl3 io=0x388
options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5

I found a solution after just one whole day of browsing. Ok lets share;

My soundblaster compatible card got happy when this was added in "modules.conf" and that might go for your card if it is SB as well, try it if you desperate:

alias sound-slot-0 sb
options sound dmabuf=1
alias synth0 opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330

Take care
Björn

since it wasn't stated and I am new to linux, I assumed that the additional entry to modules.conf went in /etc/modules.conf

Is this correct?

thanks in advance and pardon my blundering

If it's for a hard-drive install,
I put my lines in the aliases file under /etc/modutils
Then run update-modules..

If for a LiveCD , the update-modules command doesn't run the same.
But you can put lines in your bootlocal.sh like
"insmod sb io=0x530 irq=5" etc.etc...

Or even try the line
"modprobe sb"

My sound card dosent work either. Its a SoundMax Digital integrated sound card. I figuer its sound blaster compatible (arent all sound cards?) so could I get some very specific instructions on what to do here?

The auto config tools dont work.
