I finally got it up and running!!!!!!!!!!!! and to Tell the truth, it wasnt all that hard to do. Here are the steps to help out any one who couldn't find the info like I couldnt.

1.Open the Konsole or what ever terminal you prefer.
2. SU mode
3.type in "alsaconf" without the quotation marks
4.The ALSA Configurator should start up.
5.Just follow the instructions on screen
6.Search Sounds Cards (ok)
7.After the search it should say that, and I quote "looks like you are having a Thinkpad 600e". And "Should I try to snd-cs4236 driver & probe the legacy configuration? (ok)
8.Probing the legacy ISA cards might take some time? (ok)
9.Please select the drivers to probe?
[x]cs4236 Cirrus Logic CS4236-9
(ok)
10.then it should start to probe for the card and driver. This step should take some time.
11.Configuring snd-cs4236
do you want to modify /ect/modprobe.d/sound? (ok)
12.Ok the snd-cs4236 is configured
13.ALSA Configurator will prepare the card for playing now? (ok)
14.The mixer is now set up for playing. Shall I try to play a sample sound now? (ok)
15. you should hear a small song at this point, and if all is well it should say'
Now ALSA is now ready to use
Have a lot of fun!

Then in the control panel I had to go into sounds and multimedia
Then Sound system
Then Hardware
Then to Select the audio device
and change this to Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
save those changes
Then you have to make sure to go into Kmix or the volume control you use under KDE or Gnome
Then test it out with a CD
I did have to play around with the MUTE buttons on Kmix, but after a while Bingo I had it singing like a bird.

This whole set up worked with SuSE 9.1 personal edt.
Kernel 2.5.6-7
KDE 3.2.1

I hope this has helped you out

I got a problem with this solutionl. I have a 600e labtop and I can not probe the driver. I get an error about "no legacy driver detected" What can I do to fix this? Do I need to install a legacy driver?
