And you don't happen to have the /etc/modules.conf file from that install :)

That's because the kernel has isa-pnp support compiled in and not as a
loadable module. Does the card show up with 'cat /proc/isapnp' ?

'rpm -qi sndconfig' says: Summary : The Red Hat Linux sound configuration tool,
so well, I guess this is a different sndconfig version, different
kernel and kernel-modules, whatever ;) Maybe check the loaded modules with
'/sbin/lsmod' and see if somehow there are problemetic entries in the
'/etc/ modules.conf' file. Anyway, the kernel drivers as well as the ALSA ones
should support your sound hardware. Can you, as root, 'modprobe cs4232'? HTH,
