[ltp] Sound on Thinkpad 600E in mandrake 7.1

[Nils Smeds]

I doubt that it is a BIOS issue. I assume you have scrutinized /var/log/messages
for informative errors? Also note that sound might be muted at boot. Start
a mixer program to check for that (aumix or xmixer), increase volume and PCM
mixer setting as well as hitting Fn+<Incr Snd> a few times.

For what it is worth, here is the relevant section from 
/etc/modules.conf for my 600E using OSS Sound. It is enough for me to be
able to run RealPlayer at least:

# PS2 reports:  Audio::    Address: 530, IRQ 5, SBaddress: 220, DMA: 0 1
#               MIDI::     Address: 330, IRQ 9
#               Audioctrl: Address: 538

I have a _very_ old ALSA configuration for this system as well. It might
help you but it might not be relevant any longer:

#### ALSA portion
###alias char-major-116 snd
###options snd snd_major=116 snd_device_mode=0666
###alias snd-card-0  snd-card-cs4236

# ALSA/OSS interoperability
###alias char-major-14 soundcore
###alias sound-slot-0  snd-card-0
###alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
