Did that. As I mentioned, the cmpci module loaded perfectly, and the dmesg
output looks like the chip was detected.

Well, the applications seem to think that everything is working. xmms
plays, kmix works just fine and lists the card. It's not muted, the volume is
cranked, but no sound. I've only had that happen with alsa when the mixer
module didn't load, but we're not using alsa.
