CS4610

This is a Cirrus Logic Audio controller.

This chip is paired with an ISA CS4239 audio controller, which can also be used by DOS applications (like games) in SoundBlaster emulation mode.

You're probably not going to get the PCI part of this chip to work, but you may stick to using the ISA part.

See also Problem with broken sound on some ThinkPads and Script for configuring the CS4239 sound chip in PnP mode.

Features

  • Chipset: CS4610
  • Interface: PCI
  • PCI ID: 1013:6001

Linux OSS driver

This sound chip is NOT supported by the cs46xx kernel module, it will die with this error (kernel 2.6.15):
