Any hints?

Hi, Peter
I've had the same problem with an old Aptiva SE7 with the CS4232
chip. For one thing, support for the CS4232 (and from browsing the
/lib/modules hierarchy, a number of other legacy chips) was not
configured in the default kernel. I'm told that building a custom
kernel with support for the CS4232 would go a long way toward fixing the
problem. Whether that's all that would be required, I don't know, being
something of a newbie myself. In any case, on the other side of my home
office I have a much newer box (NetVista A60) dual booting Win2K and
SuSE 9.1 Pro. The newer sound chip was recognized and works fine in
both OS's, so there's no great incentive for ME to try rebuilding the
kernel, except as an exercise. If you DO try it, please post the
results here; it might be just the incentive I need. ;-{)>
