   In the month since this thread was last active, there have been a 
couple of threads related to CS43xx sound chips.  After having tryed all 
the suggestions, the closest I got to sound was a message that module 
CS4232.ko could not be loaded.  I haven't been moved to try building a 
custom kernel yet, but I'm confident that if I did, I'd find that 
support for CS4232 sound had not been generated in the default kernels.
   Cheers,
