I have a 4236-card which sndconfig can get sound from, but it have not, (since mdk8.1) been able to save its settings. Every time i install a new mdk since then I've had to resort to run pnpdump + isapnp, and comment out when given multiple choise. I also put alias sound-slot-0 cs4232 options sound dmabuf=1 alias synth0 opl3 options opl3 io=0x388 options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=10 I then commented out the sound entries in /etc/isapnp.gone (where i found the cards addresses) But since you have a 4237 card, this post may be totally wrong for you :) /Björn
