Hi

I am running Dapper on an old AMDk6. Device Manager shows a "Crystal Sound Conductor CS423x sound - mpu401". However in system/preferences/sound there is nothing in the "Default soundcard box" - hence no sound.


How do i get sound working?

Many thanks

thanks all

no sound under dsl either

the mobo is an asus p5a-b but the downloads part of their website is 'under maintenence' so i can't see if they ahve any linux drivers

just found that when i run gedit i get these messages in the terminal:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1072:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3962:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2102:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default


I haven't tried updating alsa-libs - i assume that something in synaptic?
my system is broken at the moment (<<http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17658501>>)
so will try later

thanks

Device manager says its a Crystal Semiconductor CS423X sound - mpu401
So does that mean i can use any of the 4231/4232/4236 drivers?

Thanks

Well most likely your card is encompassed by one of those drivers, probably 99% certainty it is supported. No idea why its not working though :S
