Cirrus Logic snd-cs46xx - No soundcards found [Solved]

I have a new Thinkpad T22.
alsaconf successfully finds my Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 Card, however, I need to load snd_cs46xx manually.
After loading the modules, it is visible under lsmod.
/etc/rc.d/alsa start give me an output of:
/usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1236: No soundcards found...

Any ideas will be appreciated

Try adding snd-cs46xx to the MODULES array of rc.conf.  The module will then be loaded automatically.

To solve the "No soundcards found", add:

sleep 5

after the line:

stat_busy "Restoring ALSA Levels"

of /etc/rc.d/alsa.

Thanks, this works
Where was I expected to find this otherwise?

just curious, if you didn't do the sleep 5 thing and manually entered in that module in modules() array in rc.conf, would it load up?
I thought the sleep command was something that had been fixed a while ago.

IIRC, without the sleep 5, the module is loaded but you end up with muted sound level.  It seems that the problem is that udev hasn't yet created the sound devices when the alsa script tries to restore the sound volume. 
I don't know if it has been fixed.  Maybe moving alsa to the end of the DAEMONS array will give more time to udev to create the device so the sleep 5 won't be necessary anymore.   I might test that out.

Sounds about right.  I reinstalled Arch and did not add sleep 5.  Now the volume is muted at startup

strange, works for me without it. Maybe it depends on the module.

It's possible... I'm using snd_intel8x0.  I'll probably do the tests I suggested above during the week-end.

I'm using the snd-cs46xx too and I never had any problems with my Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 card (TerraTec DMX Xfire 1024). :?
