cs4235 Card

Hello all,

I’ve got an embedded cs4235 sound chip and am trying to use the module cs4236 fom ALSA. I have installed the “ASA update” stuff from SuSE and I have worked through all the troubleshoooting stuff.

The parameters I’m giving to the 4236 module are: port=0x060c cport=0x0120 mpu_port=-1 (disable) fm_port=0x0388 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=0 isapnp=0

However, the module insert fails with the following error messages placed in /va/log/messages:

Feb 7 20:51:46 AKU kernel: 5887.488022] ALSA wss_lib.c:221: in: auto calibration time out - reg = 0x18

Feb 7 20:51:46 AKU kernel: 5887.488022] ALSA wss_lib.c:204: out: auto calibration time out - reg = 0x18, value = 0x8f

Feb 7 20:51:46 AKU kernel: 5888.549570] cs423x-pnpbios 01:01.00: activated

Feb 7 20:51:46 AKU kernel: 5888.552304] cs423x-pnpbios: probe of 01:01.00 failed with error -2

Anybody know what is the cause of the problem here and if there is anything I can do about it?

TIA

Also, can you explain better why you are trying to do what you are doing with the cs4235 card? Is this to just get basic sound functioning? Is it for some other reason?
