The snd_cport (control port) isn't specified for snd-cs4236 module. This
value is REQUIRED!!! This port allows access to 3D DSP, S/PDIF etc..
This value is usually 0x120 for CS4237B chip..

Looked... PnP dump nothing says. You must uncomment specified regions
(which is right for you) and ACT Y. If you don't do this - isapnp does
nothing (except card isolation).

I see all e-mails from you - OSS/Lite works - why? Answer is simple.
CS4232+ chips supports legacy mode (in this mode should be soundcard
configured without ISA PnP accesses). ALSA doesn't support this
configuration due one reason - ALSA expects that more soundcards is
installed in system and with legacy mode should be located only one
Crystal chip. You should use isapnp for right initialization of sound
chip. I'm still waiting when Tom Lee's PnP patch will be included to
kernel to make PnP issues more comfortable.

Other thing: 0x534 or 0x530 port? For ALSA driver is this value same
as in PnP config. OSS/Lite uses port lower by 4 due checking
compatibility with WSS - ALSA doesn't require this - 0x534 is right
value..
