I have downloaded the latest alsa drivers/libs/util from alsa-project.org site compiled them for cs4232 first, it did not work then I tried compiling it for cs4236 did not work finally I tried cs4231 still nothing.....
I am having problem in /sbin/modprobe snd-cs4232, it gives and error :
FATAL: Error inserting snd_cs4232 (/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4232.ko): No such device.
i am not a master at this but from ut O/P i can draw on inference that the driver ur trying load a wrong driver for ur soundcard because the driver suggests that the driver does not find the hardware for which it has been compiled
Ehm usually no
Just start alsaconf and follow the screen instructions
alsaconf will update all neccesary files and test the sound card before doing this
After alsaconf ends reboot your machine and start alsamixer because some channels might be muted which you need
