[Alsa-user] ibm thinkpad & alsa 9.6 sound

[j. r. <jro...@ya...>]

been trying to get the fricken sound workin.
7.3 redhat & alsa worked just fine.
9.0 redhat & alsa 9.6 is a nightmare for me.

(ibm utility required for setting irqs )
PS2.exe with a dos disk is the only utility that
allowed me to check my dma & audio settings: lspnp -v
did not work until I disabled quick boot.(in bios)

apparently I have a cs4236 with wss/soundblaster/fm

I finally was able to get the PS2.exe utility to load
on a dr. dos disk.

I am trying to configure alsa sound...

 and have the following settings according to the 
command ps2 ? audio   
address 530, 
irq 5, 
sbaddress 220, 
dma 0 & 1, ...

irq settings indicate 
sera=4, 
parallel=disabled,
imodem=disabled, 
wss.soundblaster/fm=5, midi=9,
ir=disabled, 
pci IRQ = 11

*** anyway, main problem is that after compiling the
various alsa components alsa-driver,lib,utility; when
I try to insert the modules snd-cs4236, I get an error
and the fricken module wont load:

modprobe snd-cs4236
/lib/modules/2.4.22-ac1/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.o:
init_module: No such device

even if I change the audio irq from 5 to 7, or 9 it
still wont load.
