No, the Blade does not use the cs4231 chipset. It uses a real soundcard
chip. Try the kernel OSS drivers, one of them works (don't remember the

Only problem is that the interface is not compatible to the old Sun audio
system, so you have to reconfigure and recompile most multimedia
applications :-(
