Much progress!
I went back to /etc/modprobe.conf and edited the last line to read:
# remove snd-cs4236.....
I tried modprobe snd-cs4236, and then I found better results with lsmod |
grep snd:
# lsmod | grep snd
snd_cs4236 23145 0
snd_opl3_lib 14913 1 snd_cs4236
snd_hwdep 13637 1 snd_opl3_lib
snd_cs4236_lib 20161 1 snd_cs4236
snd_mpu401_uart 13249 1 snd_cs4236
snd_rawmidi 28737 1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_cs4231_lib 29765 2 snd_cs4236,snd_cs4236_lib
snd_seq_dummy 8133 0
snd_seq_oss 37057 0
snd_seq_midi_event 11841 1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 57137 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event

b,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,
snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 14113 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 14281 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm
Now the commands aplay, arecord, and so on appear to function.
arecord -d 5 >file.wav produces a file, however, the file plays back as
silence.
I think my remaining problem is around setting amixer properly.
I looked at amixer trying to figure out how to enable input from the
microphone jack of the sound device (on this machine, it's routed to a
connector on the front panel with a microphone icon, and when I plug a sound
source in, I can hear the sound on the machine's internal speaker.) This is
going to take more reading, because there are so many individual
parameters...
Thanks,
Dave
