Description Provides Linux support for CS4281. Installation To install the driver, ensure that the environmental requirements are met (See Frequently Asked Questions text file, question 3.) and complete the following steps: 1. Download the gzip file. 2. Create a directory to extract the file (example: mkdir /cs4281). 3. Change directory to the /cs4281 directory to extract the files. 4. Copy the downloaded gzip file into the /cs4281 directory. 5. Perform a "gunzip [downloaded filename]" to extract the gzip file into a tar format file. 6. Perform a tar -x < [downloaded filename] to extract the files from the tar archive. 7. Change directory to the /usr/src/[linux] directory. 8. Verify that the driver is enabled as a module (M) (using "make xconfig", "make menuconfig", or "make config" in the Sound category). 9. Make a backup of all of the cs4281* files in the [cs4281] source directory. /usr/src/[linux]/drivers/sound/[cs4281](cs4281*.c, cs4281*.h). 10. Copy all of the files from the newly created /cs4281 directory into the /usr/src/[linux]/drivers/sound/[cs4281] directory overwriting the older files. 11. Make a new CS4281 driver module by performing a "make dep" and then a "make modules_install" from the /usr/src/[linux] directory. 12. Make a new CS4281 driver module by performing a "make dep", "make modules", and then a "make modules_install" from the /usr/src/[linux] directory. The new CS4281 driver will be automatically copied into the /lib/modules/[linux] directory tree. 13. Edit the /etc/modules.conf file (or /etc/conf.modules on older versions of linux), and make sure that "sndconfig" has placed either the line "alias sound-slot-0 cs4281" or "alias sound cs4281" in that file. 14. Reboot the system and the new driver will load automatically.
