 I own a Thinkpad 380XD with a CS4237 - I *think* it is not a CS4237B -
sound chipset and I can't get it work with the 0.3.0-pre4 Alsa drivers :

- my current kernel is 2.2.2 with the sound support compiled in
- I've tried with the SB, CS4232, CS4236 Alsa drivers without success...

The alsaconf program detects a sb-8 (!) and when I load the alsa
sb-8 drivers, it works but the OPL3 chip is not detected. 
When I try with CS423* drivers, I get a message "resource or device
busy"; the debug option shows that no CS4232 nor CS4237 is detected.
I've read all related messages in this mailing list but nothing could
help.

 Could anybody tell me if he could get this CS4237 chip working ? Only the
CS4237B is in the list of Alsa-supported chipset so I'm wondering if this 
is without hope.

P.S.
1) I already use the Alsa drivers for my GUS-PnP on my other computer
with exactly the same linux configuration (kernel version, isapnp
version...) without any problem.
2) the sound works without problem with the OSS-free drivers for CS4232,
so I'm convinced  that my card *could* work...
