I have an ASUS P5AD2 premium motherboard with C-Media CMI 9880 sound

I'm running Fedora Core III, kernel 2.6.10-1.737_FC3smp.
Kudzu doesn't see the sound"card" when either option is set.
I'm wondering if anyone has been able to successfully get their sound
working from this motherboard? I suspect that I need some "drivers",
but
a visit to the C-Media website doesn't identify any drivers for the
9880
series...
Suggestions? By the way, I would not recommend this motherboard if
you
plan to use linux, its software is clearly made for Windows
environments.
Thanks,

That's interesting, I'm running Fedora core 2 on a box and the sound
works fine with no configuration at all. I think (but I may be wrong)
that PC'97 is some sort of standard, and I would expect it to work
under Linux with no problems. My machine isn't particularly common
either, it's a Soltek board with sound, graphics, and a C3 CPU onboard.
Interestingly it's '6-Channel AC'97 Audio'!
When I got Fedora 2, Fedora 3 was only a Beta, yours isn't a Beta is
it? If it's a Beta then I don't know whether that could be partly the
problem?
