interesting what you can find out by googling around and following
the online docs! oN my old/present Dell I have a "CS461x" which
is probably in the museum by now. On the new Dell, catting
/dev/sndstat says there are dual chip there.

Well, I just spend awhile tried to connect the sound plug on my KVM
unit ... I have vim built; the BEL is the same slight beep as
before. I only had a few inches and a dim flashlight. Seattle is
like Siberia in lots of ways. it's time to try to find somebody
who can check out my wires, cables, and so forth.
later on,
gary
