I have scanned the motherboards a few days ago, here's the
interesting part (DBRI and codec):
http://seti.heh.uni-oldenburg.de/LX.jpg

As you can see, the LX has an CS4215 on board.
(The same chip that is in those external speaker boxes AFAIK.)

> I thought the Classic was the only one with the CS4231.
No, the Classic has Sun4c type audio (i.e. AMD7930).
(I have not scanned the motherboard yet :-).

The SS5 has an CS4231 and the SS4 with audio option as well.
(Of course I don't have that option for my SS4 }:-{ )
