Adding snd_soc_cs42l51 snd-soc-openrd to /etc/modules to ensure the modules are loaded at bootime results in successful loading of the modules and the onboard sound card device being made available. s42l51-codec 0-004a: found device cs42l51 rev 1 openrd-client-audio openrd-client-audio: cs42l51-hifi <-> i2s mapping ok card 0: Client [OpenRD Client], device 0: CS42L51 HiFi cs42l51-hifi-0 [] But the crackle/crunch sound regardless of what is played with aplay continues accompanied by many kernel messages kirkwood_dma_irq: got err interrupt 0x4 > Please test whether this is fixed in Linux 3.14, currently available in > unstable. Installing initramfs-tools_0.115_all.deb and linux-image-3.14-1-kirkwood_3.14.2-1_armel.deb and rebooting, has now resulted in a functional onboard sound card device (tested using aplay with a wav file and mpg123 with an mp3 file) for the very first time on this machine. As the failure to load snd-soc-cs42l51 was an artefact of the system (insufficient free memory at the time of loading) and the problem has been satisfactorily resolved, please close this bug.
