    ThinkPad 600e Sound

    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.
