Yes, because Crystal != PCI sound chip. They produce loads of different chips, some being support chips for sound systems, like mixers/amplifiers etc. > Note that on the LongTrail, the CS4232 is an ISA device, not PCI. > >> But the dmasound driver loads, and it plays music *better than it did in >> it's life as a Macintosh.

Probably the latter: I would suppose that the main sound part is integrated into some Apple ASIC, with the Crystal chip providing some external support functions.
