Ubuntu and the Crystal 4237B Soundchip

For all you peo­ple searc­ing for more infor­ma­tion on get­ting the C4237B sound­chip work­ing under Ubuntu, here are the links to my pre­vi­ous posts on the subject:

Some other peo­ple out there in Inter­net land have reported the steps detailed in those posts as work­ing for them. Some have reported that they don’t work. *shrug* My best guess as to why is I think the chip can be con­fig­ured with a DOS/Windows util­ity to use dif­fer­ent IRQs and what not. Or it could be some sort of dif­fer­ence in the kernel(s) peo­ple are using. Or some­thing else entirely. I really don’t know for sure. Lastly I should note that when I last updated the ker­nel on my lap­top to tot 2.6.12–10; the sound stopped working.
