[linux-audio-user] Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo III 7.1 not working

[Arvid Stüwe]

Hi!

I'm trying to get alsa working with my new card, but the alsa module won't
load. This is the error I get:

# modprobe snd-cs46xx
/lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o: init_module: No such device
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
/lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.o: insmod
snd-cs46xx failed

and the syslog contains these messages:
Sep 23 22:05:42 aurora kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:11.0
Sep 23 22:05:43 aurora kernel: ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_lib.c:268: AC'97 write problem, codec_index = 0, reg = 0x2, val = 0x8000
Sep 23 22:05:43 aurora kernel: ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/cs46xx/cs46xx_lib.c:148: AC'97 read problem (ACCTL_DCV), reg = 0x2
Sep 23 22:05:46 aurora last message repeated 99 times

lspci reports the card as:

# lspci
[...]
00:11.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4610/11 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01)


Entries in /etc/modules.conf are as they should be, if I read the
instructions correctly:

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs46xx
alias char-major-14 soundcore
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
alias snd-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-slot-0
