[Sound] RH 8 & cs4232 problem

[Joe Berry <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It was recommended to me to use cs4232 instead of nm256 a few weeks
ago as the sound module of choice.  Just now getting back to trying to
get sound to work.

Machine is a Compaq Presario model 1920. I have a MagicMedia 256AV as
well as a MagicWave 3Dx.  Under Windows, I recorded all the I/O
addresses that I saw.  I am using RH 8.0 with kernel version
2.4.18-18.8.0.  I installed the latest ALSA software from
freshrpms.net (driver & kernel rpms), version 0.9.0-fr0rc6.1 that are
compatible with my kernel.

The obvious first question was what to set the various kernel
parameters; this may be my problem. None of the info from Windows
seems to correspond to what the kernel module wanted. So, using a
reference I found online, I set /etc/modules.conf to the following:

================= start of /etc/modules.conf ======================
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias usb-controller usb-uhci
alias eth0 3c574_cs

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4232
# module options go here
options snd-cs4232 port=0x534 cport=0x538 mpu_port=-1 fm_port=0x388 irq=5
dma1=1 dma2=0

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
================= end of /etc/modules.conf ======================

I can successfully execute the following:
modprobe snd-mixer-oss
modprobe snd-seq-oss
modprobe snd-pcm-oss

However, when I try to load snd-cs4232 ("modprobe snd-cs4232")I get
the following:

================= start of modprobe output ======================
/lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o: init_module: No such
device
/lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/kernel/drivers/sound/cs4232.o: insmod cs4232 failed
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
================= end of modprobe output ======================

Looking at dmesg, I see the following:

================= start of dmesg output ======================
ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
ad1848: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...
cs4232: set synthio and synthirq to use the wavefront facilities.
cs4232: Must set io, irq and dma.
================= end of dmesg output ======================

Does anyone have a suggestion for what I can do next?  I ran the
GUI-based hardware browser and under sound cards, it detected
"MagicMegia 256AV Audio" (driver nm256_audio).  Under unknown devices,
I saw "NeoMagic MagicWave 3D sound System:Unknown" with driver
snd-opl3sa2.

I'm add the output to lsmod here (in case it is helpful to anyone).

Again, any pointers would be appreciated. Would it help if I supply
the I/O ranges, memory ranges, etc., as detected by Windows?  If I
can't get this resolved, my next step will be to try again with RH
7.3.
