Souncard on gateway e-3200
Really want to use arch on 8 donated gateway e-3200 pc's, to set up an internet cafe for senior citizens.
They're pII 300 - 450 deschutes, with 128 mb of memory.
Installation went smoothly, everything works -running kde 3.2.2- except for sound.
Soundcard is cs4236, modprobe returns module not found. There is a snd-cs4236.ko in modules directory.
Tried all different alsa configuration, no luck.
Ran a knoppix 3.3 disk, and it configured sound with ad1848 module and it works.
But there is no configuration information in modules.conf.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
:shock:

Re: Souncard on gateway e-3200
Found it and will read through it. Didn't know it was a help system.
thanks.
Followed Instructions, but i'm getting this error
"modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting snd_cs4236 (/lib/modules/2.6.6/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko) : No such device"
Does this mean i have to recompile the kernel.
I alsao tried "alsaconf", it returns "no legacy cards found".
I tried another set of instructions that placed "snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss snd-pcm-oss" in the modules array in /etc/rc.conf. Now when i "lsmod" or "cat /proc/modules" i can see the soundcards modules, but there seems to be no mixer to set any volume.
"/dev/snd" has "controlC0 and timer"
"/dev/sound" is empty
"alsamixer" returns "snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
"amixer set MASTER 100 unmute" returns "No such device"
"amixer set PCM 100 unmute" returns "No such device"
Going to try all those options to be placed in "/etc/devfsd.conf"
