 This chip is software configurable. In Thinkpads, the BIOS sets up the chip if fast boot is disabled. If fast boot is enabled, the chip is disabled until a PnP driver enables it. As both the OSS and the ALSA module do not support PnP discovering of this chip in a ThinkPad, a configuration script like [[Script for configuring the CS4239 sound chip in PnP mode|this one]] may be used.  See also [[Problem with broken sound on some ThinkPads|this page]] for more information.
