Looking at this list, we'll need more from you than
' Dell latitude cp ' if we're to help you with your sound chip.

This list shows about a dozen..

The M233XT looks like a candidate,
..you might do a google search on that one for starters..

According to Dell's specs on CP and CPi models - http://docs.us.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/pmojav/specs.htm you have the Crystal (Cirrus Logic) 4237B. The conventional way of loading its driver is -
modprobe cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 (check your hardware settings, of course)

but several people have reported problems with this sound chip, in which case the various modules need to be loaded in a particular order, as such -

modprobe sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330
insmod opl3 io=0x388

And in some cases these modules may have automatically loaded at bootup ... but with wrong settings, so they need to be unloaded first, with "rmmod xxx"

kopsis made some good points about BIOS setup here -

In general, BIOS should be set to "PnP OS = NO" for all Linux distributions. And ironically, Windows sometimes configures its hardware better with this, too.
