Description of problem:  Module for C-media 8738 not found, thus sound card not working.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 10 17:35:18 CDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[slimg00dy@localhost ~]$

Actual results:  lspci -v does not list the module
05:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10)
	Subsystem: AuzenTech Co., Ltd. Digital X-Mystique
	Flags: bus master, stepping, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 9
	I/O ports at d000 [size=256]
	Capabilities: <access denied>

Also lsmod does not list the module.


Expected results:  Module to be listed so sound card works.


Additional info:  The sound card is detected under lspci (obviously) but not found in alsamixer due to module not being found.

Installed the snd-cmipci module by installing alsa-kmdl from here http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el6/alsa-driver-1.0.22/alsa-kmdl-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64-1.0.22.1-82.el6.x86_64.rpm.html

For some reason this wouldn't install through yum with the ATRpm's enabled.

	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: C-Media PCI
	Kernel modules: snd-cmipci

Rebooted and sound now works!

Please mark as solved now.
