Detecting onboard CMI8738 sound chip

[Gib Bogle <bogle@ihug.co.nz>]

I have an ASUS P4B266-M which has an onboard sound chip, the CMI8738
from C-Media.  I have built the 2.4.18 kernel with support for this
chip, but the sound system is dead as a dodo, although it works fine
with W2000.  A starting point for debugging is bootup detection
messages.  I don't see anything in the boot log that looks like having
anything to do with detection of the chip, although there is a line
about the driver:

cmpci: version $Revision: 5.64 $ time 02:41:23 Jul 9 2002

(this is followed by

es1371: version v0.30 time 00:42:56 Jul 9 2002

which I think just means that I built in ES1371 support by mistake.)

I'm sure there are plenty of people using a m/b from ASUS or some other
manufacturer that has an onboard CMI8738, so maybe someone can tell me
what they see in the boot log to indicate detection of the chip.

thanks
Gib
