Summary:                    CMedia 8768 Support
Description: 
I've recently built a new computer with an on-board CMedia 8768 chip.  This
chip is not listed as one of the supported CMedia chips (8738, etc.),
although I suspect that is because it is so new.  Just wanted to let you
guys know it apparently doesn't work with the standard cmipci driver (at
least I think I'm doing everthing correctly -- I have a decent amount of
Linux experience but I'm no guru).  Here is what I see though:

The card is recognized in /proc/asound as a CMedia 8738M6.  However, if I
use a mixer like amixer or gnome-alsamixer none of the mixer settings I
change will take effect (and I am running these as root).

Any advice or comments would be appreciated.  I'd be happy to help if you
think there is a possible fix.

pci_set_master() already exists in snd_cmipci_create() and is set before
the call to query_chip().
Anything else to look for?
Anything we can ask the manufacturer (Soltek?) that may shed some light?

Hello there,
I also have installed a QBIC 3801 Barebone and also have the problem with
the CMEDIA 8768.
Same problems as mentioned above. Is there a way to get this soundchip
working?
