|
|
I'm running Gentoo Linux on a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop. I'm having difficulty getting the audio up and running. I've tried most of the kernel audio modules and most of the ALSA modules, but nothing seems to work.
The dell website says this about the I8200 sound:
-Foster's Audio sound system
-Optional External: Midnight gray Harmon/Kardon 195 Speakers
-Crystal CS 4205 AC '97 software based audio
I assume I'm looking for a driver for the CS 4205. Nothing in the kernel docs reference the 4205 and the ALSA website doesn't mention the CS4205.
Has anyone gotten the audio working on an I8200 or am I out of luck right now? _________________ Toby Jones

Try using the Intel ICH (i8xx) driver. Not very intuitive, I know, but it seems to work.

Hi,
I have the same crystal sound card using ac97 codec and I used snd-card-intel8x0 but it didnt' work for me. this is what i have currently loaded (from lsmod command):
snd-card-intel8x0 8672 0
snd-pcm 29760 0 [snd-card-intel8x0]
snd-timer 8704 0 [snd-pcm]
snd-ac97-codec 23072 0 [snd-card-intel8x0]
snd-mixer 26568 0 [snd-ac97-codec]

Instead of ALSA, try the standard OSS driver from the standard kernel tree.. _________________ Tester
