[linux-audio-user] Audio on Thinkpad A20m

Setting Sound card Crystal Sound Fusion 46xx on ThinkPad A20m for RedHat 6.2 Kernel 2.2.14-5.0 I received the ThinkPad with Win98 Installed. Did the following Followed the instructions given on page <http://www.zhlive.ch/zhl_contents_linux.html> Excellent instructions these. Also looked at HOWTO <http://www.alsa-project.org/~valentyn/Alsa-sound-mini-HOWTO-6.html> No sense chancing it without reading this first. Now quick read the following... These are only the problems I had. May not be the same for you. Copy "conf.modules" to "modules.conf" don't use "conf.modules" On next boot Linux will complain. Do as it says or ignore sound card will be installed. It seems RedHat 6.2 kernel 2.2.14-5.0 does not like conf.modules and uses modules.conf instead Card on my system still did not work because volumes on ALSA driver were muted. To unmute(activate) master volume "amixer set Master unmute" (you must have installed and compiled the utilties source package from the ALSA page. <http://www.alsa-project.org/> To unmute PCM (needed to play wave and most other files) "amixer set PCM unmute" The rest I guess you can figure Eg. Type # amixer set PCM unmute NOTE: The driver is snd-driver-cs461x Linux Kernel Release 2.2.14-5.0 Linux will give a very detail explanation of what to do about the modules.conf and conf .modules file when you boot up.
