ThinkPad 600e Sound

[rec9140]

My new old refugee laptop IBM Thinkpad 600e has the typical sound issues.

I've tried the various suggestions in this forum and several sites on getting this configured, but no joy.

Most seem to be using different ports and IRQ's than what wimpdoze is showing as active in the config.

Before I blast the wimpdoze partition for a HD install I want to get the sound to work.

wimpdoze shows the following:

CS PCI Audio

IRQ 11
Memory 50100000 - 50100FFF
Memory 50000000 - 500FFFFF

WDM Audio Codecs

Input/Ouput 0530-0537
0388-038B
0220-0233
IRQ 5
DMA 01
DMA 00

WDM Audio Code Reg
Input/Output 0538-053F

WDM MPU-401
IRQ 10
Input/Output 0300-0303

Based on the forum(s) this stuff needs to be plugged into:
modprobe cs4232 io=? irq=? dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=? mpuirq=? synthirq=? synthio=-1
modprobe opl3 io=?

Some guesses on this it should be:
modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=11 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x300 mpuirq=10 synthirq=-1 synthio=-1
modprobe opl3 io=0x538

I've not had any success in getting this to work, just silence.

Thanks.

Well this is how I got the sound to work on my Thinkpad 600E.

Open a shell and logon as root and type
insmod sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2-0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9

this will load the correct drivers, however you will have to enter this everytime you reboot so if anyone out there has a script that will run these commands on boot I would appreciate hearing from you.

Update: I finally got the mods above to load at boot what I did was create a file with the above commands and saved it as cs4232 in the /etc folder and made it executable.

Then cd to /etc/rc5.d and ran

ln -s /etc/cs4232 S98cs4232

this created the symlink and I then rebooted the laptop and sound loaded on start.
