Yes, this is expected. I used "reply to all", meaning I replied both 
directly to your email address and to the list address. Since you are 
also subscribed to the list, you then got that second one delivered to 
your address as well.

Usually people have filters in use that group messages that come in via 
mailinglists into seperate mail folders, leaving just messages directly 
to their email address in their inbox. Most people on these linux lists 
are subscribed to many mailinglists such as alsa-user and for example I 
personally receive probably more than 1000 messages per day from all of 
them. Obviously, I do not pay extremely close attention to all of them 
meaning that I certainly want that duplicate personal copy in my inbox 
for messages from a conversation I participate in. Otherwise I might 
overlook them, or see them only after a long time.

Some other people will complain about the "duplicates", but it's safe to 
ignore them...

Oh heh, it's a laptop, with the CS4237 onboard. I was expecting a 
"normal machine", with a discrete ISA-PnP soundboard in one of its slots.

Yes, that's normal. This is not important to the issue, but on a PCI PC, 
the ISA bus (an older expansion bus) hangs off PCI and needs this bridge 
to forward accesses from the PCI bus.

That's the CS423x codec

And that's the CTRL port.

Nope, please don't open the laptop... :-) I was assuming a regular computer.

Okay, that's fine. I wasn't aware though that your CS4237 was onboard 
and more importantly, neither was snd-cs4236. It appears to not have 
support for onboard CS4236+ chips -- the CSC0000 device is driven only 
by snd-cs4232. Does "modprobe snd-cs4232" work? If not, does it fail 
with just the same "no devices" message as snd-cs4236 did, or does 
something more interesting appear at the end of "dmesg" (typing "dmesg" 
displays the kernel message buffer)?

I expect it will work though. It it does, please start "alsamixer" and 
unmute the Master and PCM channels and crank up the volume a bit before 
you try playing sound. "Master" is the first slider -- to unmute it, 
press "M" and then press the up-arrow until the slider is at level 89 
(that's the setting where the chip sounds best, 0 dB). PCM is right next 
to it. Also unmute it, and set that one to 87.

Hey! I resent being called a professional!
