A number of us has been posting questions to the group regarding the on-board
CS4232 chip included on many motherboards. The consensus seemed to be that it
could not be made to work. Under the generic subject of "Help: sound cards", a
CS4232 question was posted and responded to by Matt Housh
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. His instruction worked like a charm! I am taking the
liberty of reposting those insturctions under a specific CS4232 subject header
so that those who need this info can more easily find it. I can attest that
these instructions work with beta kernel 2.1.97. The stable kernels do not
include some the modules required by these instructions so I doubt whether you
will get this to work without using a 2.1 series kernel.

Here's what I had to compile in to get my CS4232 working (and yes, it DID take
all this stuff. maybe because of 2.1.x kernel, but who knows?) :
# Loadable module support
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y
# Sound (And for some reason, I could only get it to work if all these are
compiled as modules)
CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SB=m
CONFIG_ADLIB=m
CONFIG_MPU401=m
CONFIG_PSS=m
CONFIG_PSS_MIXER=y
CONFIG_MAD16=m
CONFIG_CS4232=m
CONFIG_YM3812=m
CONFIG_VMIDI=m
After I compiled the kernel, these steps got the card working:
insmod sound (if not already loaded)
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0
