I have a thinkpad 600 P2 266mhz 60MB ram in which the "couldn't open audio" error message appears when trying to play audio from xmms. The audio was not detected during boot sequence so i used the "sudo modprobe sb" just for kicks. In dmseg it states that a sb3.02 was detected ok (220) sb:irq test on irq7 failed - probable irq conflict i think that the actual sound card is a CS4236, anyways i would like to know the command to change the irq (if possible) and see if then it will work. As well i did try to play audio from xmms after i typed in the modprobe sb command in which the system totally locked up. Thanks in advance from a n00bThe usual way to change irq's is going into your BIOS setup.
Or, if it's a removable isa/pci/etc card, you can also try changing the slots that they are currently in.
I'd check `lspci -v` to make sure what soundchip you actually have though.cablehead;
I have the same laptop and resolved the issue just last night. Search this forum with "cs4232"
