CMI8738 sound problem (OT)

Message: 9

Now if only I could get sound to work on my system … (ASUS P4B266 with
onboard CMI8378, in case anyone has a suggestion).

First off, if the module cmpci isn’t loaded, load it. Second, you may want
to try and recompile the kernel with the cmpci support built in.

My suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions Mike, but the problem must be elsewhere. The
kernel has cmpci support built in, and loading the module doesn’t help.
Since the boot log doesn’t say anything about the sound chip, it seems
that it is not being detected. The info from C-Media doesn’t mention
any interrupt or I/O port settings, implying that nothing needs to be
done. That would seem to suggest that it is PnP, but the PnP check in
bootup doesn’t find any PnP devices. This could be because it searches
for PnP cards. I need to find someone who has a m/b with a CMI8738 on
it, to see what shows up in the boot log.

maybe that chipset is a little buggy…

I installed it on a winNT machine (pentium mmx on asus pc97 compliant motherboard)
and got a strange behaviour: any player will loose control of the mixer
peripheral at every song’s end. That is I could only play a song, never
a playlist, becouse when first song ends, mixer is lost.

No driver updates got me better, that chip is no good.

Hope being helpful>-- Messaggio originale –
