If this is true, I don't understand why I get good quality sound using
gcd and gmix.

CS4232 or maybe CS4236

I tried the kernel's sound module

CONFIG_SOUND_CS4232=m

And then also Alsa.  The default Alsa configuration did not change
anything.

I had it working before, but after replacing my motherboard it stopped
working.

I suppose I have to change the DMA- and IRQ-setting, but to what?  How
