[Ubuntu 5.04]

this might work for you, no hacking nessesary, the module is already buiilt. You just need to load it(I think;-)

modprobe snd-cs4236
/etc/int.d/alsa restart

Thanks, that was a good idea.

I logged on as root; I was able to shut down alsa and restart it. Just for good measure I re-booted the computer, but, no sound. It was worth a shot though. I'll try Mandriva as soon as it arrives, hopefully tomorrow.

Just an FYI for anyone else setting up this type of system(I just got a couple with version 5.10 of Ubuntu installed on them)

I was able to get sound working on mine by issueing the following two commands:

sudo modprobe snd-cs4236

esd

I ran across this thread searching google and thanks to this thread I was able to get it up and running.
