LinuxQuestions.org - Mandrake 10.0 and CM8738 sound card

Hi,
I'm using Mandrake 10.0
lspci | grep audio
02:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10)

I'm using the kernel module
snd-cmipci

But I dont know what options to give him.
Dont know what is the syntax in module.conf (or modprobe.conf)

Code:

grep snd-cmipci /etc/*

/etc/modprobe.conf:#options snd-cmipci max=8 index=min=1

/etc/modprobe.conf:install snd-cmipci /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-cmipci && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }

/etc/modprobe.conf:remove snd-cmipci { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-cmipci

/etc/modprobe.conf:alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci

/etc/modprobe.conf:alias sound-slot-0 snd-cmipci

/etc/modprobe.conf.old:alias sound-slot-0 snd-cmipci

/etc/modprobe.conf.old:#options snd-cmipci max=8 index=min=1

/etc/modprobe.conf.old:install snd-cmipci /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-cmipci && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }

/etc/modprobe.conf.old:remove snd-cmipci { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-cmipci

/etc/modules.conf:alias sound-slot-0 snd-cmipci

/etc/modules.conf:above snd-cmipci snd-pcm-oss

/etc/modules.conf:#options snd-cmipci max=8 index=min=1

/etc/modules.conf:#options snd-cmipci id="first" enable_midi="1"

I've read the page about alsa project CMI8738
But cant tell what options to give that module.

The sound from xmms (using alsa as output)
is not clear at all - and distorted

However doing rmmod to snd-cmipci and
modprobe to snd-cmipci
solves the problem.

Anyidea how to fix that ?
Thanks
Kobi
