Yes.  I had the same issue and got the alsa drivers working by manually 
configuring.  You need to get the options just right.
Try this in your /etc/modprobe.conf
options snd-cs4236 isapnp=0 cport=0x538 port=0x530 sb_port=0x220 
fm_port=0x388 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=0
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236
install snd-cs4236 /sbin/modprobe pcspkr && /sbin/modprobe 
--ignore-install snd-cs4236 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 
|| :
remove snd-cs4236 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-cs4236
