I have a debian unstable install and I haven't managed to get sound working. I have been reading things I have found on google and in various documents, but the fact is I am lost. I can't tell where the problem is.
If i use Knoppix 3.3, it runs and sound works. Looking at the Knoppix settings, it says the sound card is a CS4236B1WSS/SB using ad1848 driver. The computer is a dell gx1. Their website tells me that the on board sound "card" uses a Crystal Semiconductor CS4236 chip.
