Crystal Semiconductors CS4232 sound card: is it possible to configure it?

[t18]

@t18, have you tried any other *nix Live distro(s)? or even an older TCL?

if we found a *nix where the soundcard worked "out-of-the-box" then we could establish a possible point of failure.

I wonder which one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_live_CDs
since my PC is very old and modern distributions run modern kernels.

I'll find the necessary time to try some of them.

@t18, with regards to another version for testing purposes, i was reminded of this post on a previous thread:

https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27320.msg175886.html#msg175886

and so you could try out TinyCore-4.7.7.iso from:
