C-Media 9738 linux drivers

[Bryan C Dunne]

The CMI9738 works with the OSS i810_audio driver and the ALSA intel8x0 driver, as it is AC97 compatible (I have an ECS board with this chipset - I use the ALSA driver).

Your Fedora 1 install should include the i810_audio driver.  You should be able to load it with (run as root) "modprobe i810_audio".

Make sure the following 3 lines are in the file /etc/modules.conf:

alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :


The ALSA drivers are available at fedora.us or freshrpms.net:

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Bryan
