Soundcard Problems
 

i there,

I have a CM8738 onboard soundcard (C-Media) and when I had to re-install my system due to a problem with my CDROM drive (which I got fixed), the sound card now no longer works. I did the trouble shooting and I typed in the following and got the following results:

[<user>@localhost <user>]$ lspcidrake -v | fgrep AUDIO
