[ltp] 600E and sound...sigh...

[Torbjorn Tornkvist]

Hi everyone !

I've been tracking this mailing list now for a while
in hope to be able to get sound to work on my 600E.
I think I've now tried every possible combination
both with and without the Alsa drivers. From Windows
the Thinkpad configuration programs say the following:

 0530-0537
 0388-038b
 0240-0253
 DMA 1
 DMA 0
 IRQ 9

I'm running Mandrake 6.1 which means kernel 2.2.13.
As other people has pointed out, sndconfig just
say it is a 4610 chip and suggests ALSA drivers.
I've installed: alsa-driver-0.4.1f2, alsa-lib-0.4.1e,
alsa-utils-0.4.1. and have followed the instructions
from Thomas Hoods web-page. When running alsasound
I get:

 > ./alsa-driver-0.4.1f2/utils/alsasound start
 Starting sound driver: snd-card-cs4232
 /lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk/misc/snd-card-cs4232.o: init_module: Device
 or resource busy
 snd-midi: Device or resource busy
 done
 alsactl: Cannot open configuration file '/etc/asound.conf'...

My /proc/interrupts looks like this:

 > cat /proc/interrupts 
            CPU0       
   0:     307657          XT-PIC  timer

  15:          4          XT-PIC  ide1

My /etc/conf.modules look like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc 
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start 
alias eth0 3c589_cs

If anyone has any ideas on what to do I would be most greatful.
