thanks and success

[Jacob Schmude]

	There are a few models of crystal sound cards. As far as I can
tell, the included drivers only support the cs-4232 model. Try:
modprobe cs4232
and try playing something. Do the modprobe as root, see if you get
sounds. While loading the module, no output should be generated. If it is,
and it says something like:
device or resource busy
then you probably don't have the right model. I know the ALSA drivers
support a wider range of crystal cards, but I myself use a sound blaster
16, so I wouldn't be the one to tell you how well the crystal cards
work. The models that ALSA supports are:
cs-4231, cs-4232, cs-4236, and cs-461x.
	If you can't load the included driver with your card, you may need
ALSA.
	Hopefully, they didn't make it a windows-only card. If they did
somehow, you're out of luck.
