I'm no expert, but I have the same chip in my Turtle Beach Malibu. For this driver to work you need to specify some options in the /etc/modules.conf file.
In Debian, you're going to want to go into /etc/alsa/modutils/ and edit one of the files in there (probably one called '1.0'). You should tack on something like: -----snip------ alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236 alias snd-slot-0 snd-card-0 options snd-cs4236 port=0x0534 cport=0x120 mpu_port=0x0330 fm_port=-1 irq=5 mpu_irq=9 dma1=1 dma2=0 -----snip------ and then run 'update-modules' as root to have /etc/modules.conf recompiled from its source text files (that are scattered all about /etc/; note, this is not compiling in the C language sense). Read UPDATE-MODULES(8) for more on what this is doing. Some ALSA docs on "The module options for snd-cs4236" can be found here: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Turtle+Beach&card=Malibu&chip=&module=cs4236 HTH. chris.
