Yes.  With my TP600E, ALSA up to 0.9.8 used the cs4236 sound card. 
Starting with 1.0, it moved to cs4232 (go figure).

Do:

$ /sbin/modinfo snd-cs423[26]

and set up the correct options in your modules.conf.  Particularly
important (for me at least) is the isapnp option (isapnp=0).  If you
cannot use ps2.exe to discover your irqs and ports, try lspnp, for
which you need a PNPBIOS enabled kernel, or module pnp.o from the
pcmcia package.  Ensure that Quick Boot is off in your BIOS.

Perservere, it will work.

Luck.
