IBM Thinkpad 600E and Sound Problem

arupsarkar · #1 14th September 2004, 04:21 AM

Hi,

I am using IBM Thinkpad laptop 600 E, initially I had Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP 1, I was able to listen to music. Now after I installed Fedora Core 2 it seems the sound is not working.

Does anybody know what I have to do.

Regards
Arup

can you post your lsmod, open terminal and type: /sbin/lsmod

I've had similar problem with FC2 (and some other problems with ThinkPad hardware). I own same notebook. I just run FC1 it runs faster

Here is the output.

Thanks !!!

Add this to /etc/modprobe.conf:

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236
options snd-card-0 isapnp=0 cport=0x538 port=0x530 sb_port=0x220 fm_port=0x388 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=0
install snd-cs4236 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-cs4236 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-cs4236 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-cs4236

After rebooting launch "alsamixer" to unmute and adjust master and PCM channel.

Try this : In gnome alsamixer, uncheck the option external amplifier.

You may have encountered the one program sound only problem

Yet another thing to try: disable the server for sound events. Preferences > Sound.

jfrieben · #9 31st October 2004, 03:48 PM

There was a transcript error in my previous post. Sorry! Here is the correct "options" line:

options snd-cs4236 isapnp=0 cport=0x538 port=0x530 sb_port=0x220 fm_port=0x388 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=0

Hi all,
Last week I installed FC2 onto a friends Thinkpad 600 and have since been unable to get the sound to work at all.
I tried the options listed above but there is still no sound coming from the machine. This is a TP600 2645-45U with FC2(yes, FC2) with the 2.6.10 kernel updated. I know that the sound does work from a previous Windows installation. I have included the output from lsmod below:

Is there ANYONE who has gotten sound to work on this model machine with FC2 that can help?!?

Thanks,

*BUMP*

Someone out there must have had some success with this sound chipset. I know that it works under Windows!

Thanks,

I just installed WinXP on my IBM Thinkpad 600E and everything installed fine except I don't have any sound. I checked the device manager and the device for sound (Crystal SoundFusion(tm)) says, 'No drivers are installed for this device.' I thought the sound driver was part of WinXP, but I guess not.

What can I do to install the appropriate driver. I also noticed someone mention Service Pack 1. Should I install this? If so, will it take care of the sound problem?

Thanks for you help,

Rick

You should ring up Bill Gates and ask.
