I'm new to DSL after installing it on my Dell Inspiron 3200 laptop last night. So far I am very impressed, but I am having a bit of an issue getting sound to work properly. I followed the instructions posted on the http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Inspiron_3200_Walkthrough for enabling sound, and made a bash script in init.d with the following lines in it:
modprobe sound
modprobe ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=5
These commands had worked flawlessly in the recent past on a previous installation of Debian that I'd had on the machine, so I felt safe in making them into a script and having them executed at boottime. I made a S100sound ---> ../init.d/dell_sound entry in /etc/rc5.d, made sure perms were right, and rebooted the machine.
At boot time, I can see the modules getting inserted, and now I have a sound panel in the extended window manager where before there was none. I fired up XMMS and it connected to the Classical station url that it comes with and started playing, but no sound came out of the speakers. I could see the changing level bars in the EQ, but despite all attempts to adjust volume, check that system wasn't muted, etc, I could not hear a thing.
I've checked forum and found similar posting, but with no resolution to problem.
http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=9695. In that posting user "tempestuos" had suggested doing the following:
- Run "lsmod" to see if the maestro module is loaded.
- If not, load it manually - "modprobe maestro"
- Make sure your bios is set for PnP OS = NO.
- Run "cat /proc/interrupts" to check for IRQ conflicts.
- Play an audio file from the commandline ... say, mpg321.
Below are the results from those tests:

4. mpg321 file results
----------------------
This was interesting. I got no sound to come out, but when mpg321 started to play, I could hear static.coming out of the laptop speakers. XMMS just shows the moving EQ bars, but no speaker static. Below is the verbose output of mpg321.
