Good suggestion; unfortunately I've been doing this all as root.
I decided to follow your other recommendation, and recompiled my kernel
to use the cs4236 driver as a module. This yields my driver, but when I
try to modprobe it I get:
laptop cs423x # modprobe snd-cs4236
FATAL: Error inserting snd_cs4236
(/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r8/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko): No such
device
The driver does exist:
file /lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r8/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.9-gentoo-r8/kernel/sound/isa/cs423x/snd-cs4236.ko:
ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
I'm trying to figure out why the modprobe fails. Could it be it can't
find my hardware device?
I'm still in the process of googling so I can't say I've exhausted my
own resources yet, but any suggestions are welcome.
I might also try
emerge alsa-driver
again, since that's why I switched to the module rather than built-in
driver. With any luck, it will solve my problem as well.

If I don't worry about this and just jump forward to alsamixer, I get:
alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
Any tips?
Try to do this as root. If it works, the permissions for the device
nodes are not set properly. Check if your user is in the audio group as
well.
