Sound Drivers

[Nicholas Fitzgerald]

Ok, I've tried all the stuff you guys suggested before, eve some stuff, 
like ALSA, that I found on my own. I just have one question left. How do 
I get the sound system on my Thinkpad 600 to work under Fedora Core 1? 
It's not that special, just  your basic Cirrus CS423x chipset type sound 
system. Nothing fancy, and fairly prevalent out there, but you'd think 
no one has ever tried to get this chipset working under linux before. 
Sure, there's stuff out there, but everything I've tried is either 
incompatible with the file layout of fedora, or there is something 
missing, like /dev/midi, or some function in the compiled driver. In any 
event, it seems to me there should be an actual solution for this in 
what should be a fairly mature distro. In fact, I can report that a few 
months ago I installed a copy of Lycoris on this machine, and a copy of 
Red Hat 8. In both instances the sound system worked fine after 
installation. Couldn't get my Nic to work under RH8, and didn't like 
Lycoris, so I went back to windows. I don't want to go back to windows 
this time. I'm sticking with fedora, even if it is in silence.
