[ltp] Mandrake 9 - Thinkpad 600e - Sound Howto

[Kyle Hamar]

Yes, this has been asked a dozen times but the answers have not helped me 
(yet.)

Q: How does a person get sound to work on a fresh install Mandrake 9 
Thinkpad 600e?

Note: I found others with the exact same problem over in Also-Users 
(http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=9469838&list=12350 ) but no 
solution posted.

A working solution appears to need the cs4232 or perhaps cs4236 drivers and 
a proper modules.conf such as the one posted at 
http://eca.cx/lau/2002/06/0119.html but these drivers do not appear to be 
present on my standard ML9 install. To make things worse, the latest ALSA 
drivers do not make cleanly under ML9.

I could paste output from lspcidrake -v cat /etc/modules.conf /sbin/lsmod 
/sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp aumix -q if requested.

So I am stuck and without sound. Perhaps a guru here with recent experience 
can guide me out of the silence.
