Dell Latitude CPi sound help.

I'm not sure if this should go here, or in Video/Sound, but hopefully someone here can help. I have an old Dell Latitude CPi D266XT that I'm having trouble getting the sound working on. I know that this laptop uses a CS4237B chipset.

I've found various settings that others have used to get their card working, but none of them work. All I get when I try to modprobe is

[93880.867848] CS4236+ soundcard not found or device busy

The most common setting I've found for the Latitude CPi is:

index=0 port=0x530 cport=0x210 irq=5 dma1=0 dma2=1 mpu_port=0x330 isapnp=0 fm_port=0x388 mpu_irq=9

Now, by looking at lspci I've found:

0000:00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 01)

Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9 This is with acpi=off! Although, /proc/interrupts doesn't show anything on IRQ 9. Does anyone have any idea how I could get this sound card working?

did you ever figure this out, because I have the same problem and cannot find any way to get my sound to work either

No I didn't :( Unfortunatly it was a friend's laptop, and he needed it back a few days later so I just had to re-install 98SE on it :mad:

I got it to work with a few 2.4 kernel based distros, but not ubuntu or any 2.6 kernel.

I'm not sure if this'll work (I'm trying to setup Xubuntu 6.06 on my CPi now and I want sound to work)

It's from Warty, but who knows?

I had an old CPi myself. The kernel drivers for whatever reason never worked for me. I ended up having to use OSS to get it working.

You need a license to use it. But crafty people find them. I'm still using my license, otherwise I would let you have it.

Followed the directions and ALSA works great! I finally have sound on my CPi D266XT running Xubuntu 6.06.

Edited to specify that it's using ALSA, not OSS.

I have tried your guides and I cant get the sound to work but I am using a OEM version of Ubuntu 6.06 I like it but the sound just isnt working I got sound working before with Breezy
