I have opened my laptop and it has the CS4237B chipset (the one
the Dell states for this model). 
A problem is with ALSA drivers. The snd-cs4232 is the only driver
which supports pnpbios. The snd-cs4236 does not so it does not
recognize the card. 

An ultimate solution would be to merge the snd-cs4236-lib into
the wss-lib (as Rene Herman proposed some time ago) then
prepare a single driver for all cs423x cards.
