[NTLUG:Discuss] CS4237B

[Ralph Green, Jr]

Howdy,
  I have set up several Linux systems with the CS4237B sound chip.  I
have used RedHat 8, Mandrake 9.1/9.2, and SuSE 8.2/9.0.  I don't
remember any system having it's sound automatically detected. You need
to find the IO port settings, interrupts(both of them), and DMA
settings.  The setting varied from system to system and the sound did
notwork until I got them right.  The machine I am typing this on is an
IBM ThinkPad 560X with that sound chip. I think I have the same video
chip as the original poster, but I did not save the original message
because of the crude language it contained and I don't remember which
NeoMagic chip was referenced.  I have 2 560X systems.  The other one has
Win98 and I copied all the settings from the Windows system's
properties.
Good luck,
Ralph
