I happen to have the earlier model of this card (the CMI8330), you'll need
to recompile your kernel to get this to work properly, and make all the
sound files available as modules.
If you have a look in your /usr/src/<kernel-version>/Documentation/sound
directory, you'll see a file called CMI8330. Follw the instructions in
there, and see how it goes.
As far as I know, the CMI8338 is just a PCI version of the CMI8330, though
I could be wrong here... (I don't know I've never had one <grin>).
If the above doesn't work, try just using the MSS driver, as the CMI range
of sound cards is supposed to be Windows Sound Source Compatible (you
won't get all the snazzy features of the card, but at least you'll have
sound!).
Hope This Helps,
