crystal audio on a dell optiplex gx1p

[Denis M.J.]

After a bit of reading on the alsa website, I found something that works.

Adding the following line to /etc/modules
snd-cs4236 dma1=1 dma2=3 io=0x0534 irq=5

Now alsa doesn't complain about 'no soundcard found' and the sound 
volume manager works find.
Shouldn't this be automatic though? How is a regular user supposed to 
know how to do this?
