I had same problem with setting up my CSS1869 card in 4.1.1 RELEASE. Then
someone on this list posted a link to http://www.opensound.com/ and that got
the sound working. The only downside is that they charge $20 US Dollars for
their software. I am still using the free trial, and it works great.  Hope
this helps.

Thank you,
Ronnie Clark

Yes, I did.
I tried snd0 as well as snd1. It didn't work.
According to section 14.4 of the handbook you have to run: cat /dev/sndstat
to check if it is snd0 or snd1.
This gave me the message: "Device not configured"
The boot up messages report two unknown cards:
pcio: <unknown card> (vendor = 0xe159, dev = 0x0001) at 14.0 irq 11
pcio: <unknown card> (vendor = 0x12eb, dev = 0x0001) at 16.0 irq 5.
The latter is the sound card I suppose.

I repeat my orignal message in plain text:

I don't succeed in building a kernel which detects my TRUST Sound Expert 128
PCI properly.
It detects an unknown PCI card.

I added the following sentence to the kernel configuration file:
                            device     pcm (as it is a PCI/PnP card)

Checking things in W'2000, I found the following drivers:
                            Aureal Vortex-gameport
                            Areal Vorex 8820 Audio (WDM)
                            Vortex multifunction PCI parent
                            Audiocodecs
                            Legacy audiostuurprogramma's

So it seems to have something to do with Aureal Vortex, which is supported
according to the handbook.
So why doesn't it work.
I hope someone can help me.

The specifications of the sound card are are:
    Synthesizer:     64 Voices
                           General MIDE 1.0
                           SoundBlaster Pro I and Adlib emulation.
