Sound on c-media CM8738

Hi all,
I've installed slack 10.0 and I'm trying to get sound working without much luck (hold fire there all you about to jump in with alsamixer etc.. ;) )

I can get sound if I use the audio cable to the cd-player (at least I could in 9.1 so I assume I could in 10.0 without much trouble) but I want to use the soundcard without having to use the audio cable, like I can in windoze. Has anyone managed to do this?

i have an 8738... here's the modules i have loaded for it:

Code:

snd-pcm-oss            37092  0

snd-mixer-oss          12016  1 [snd-pcm-oss]

snd-cmipci            17972  1

soundcore              3332  7 [snd]

basically, "alsaconf" set it all up automatically...
