add memory, loose sound?
I just added 128 MB of memory to my Dell Optiplex GX1, and now my sound card (on motherboard CS 4236) is no longer recognized. It's possible that I did something bad to the motherboard when inserting the memory cards. Or, is there any way that adding memory (now 128 + 128 + 64) could disable the sound? TIA, Bill

What do the boot logs say when you look at them after adding the memory? Any errors? It's possible that you did something bad, but as a first check, I'd just pull the extra memory and see if it comes back. If not, then you have other problems. Is the sound driver compliled as a module, or is it in the kernel? John

I was just too lazy last night. Here's what's in dmesg output: isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: Card 'CS4236B' isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total speakup: initialized device: /dev/synth, node (MAJOR 10, MINOR 25) The indication that the card is not recognized is from kudzu -- it wants to remove the configuration for the file. I also can't get a music CD to play using xmms. js> js>If not, then you have other problems. js> js>Is the sound driver compliled as a module, or is it in the kernel? It's an alsa module, but I'm a little confused... When running "chkconfig --list", I see that I forgot to have the service start at any runlevel (the machine has been up for a while, and I guess I never quite finished the configuration), but, if I try "service alsasound start", it says it's already running. Weird. js> js>John Thanks, Bill

Good RAM test tool just in case you need it : http://www.memtest86.com/ Its free. You boot into it from a floppy and set up a few parameters. Then let it go for as long as you like. minutes, hours, days. If you have some bad RAM it'll find it. Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone memory test for x86 architecture computers. BIOS based memory tests are only a quick check and often miss many of the failures that are detected by Memtest86. Memtest86 is released under the terms of the Gnu Public License (GPL). Other than the provisions of the GNU pubic licence (GPL) there are no restrictions for use, private or commercial. -- Jeff Kinz, Open-PC, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. jkinz@kinz.org copyright 2003.
