support cmedia sound card

Asked by mljew

I have no sound!!

The volume control on the task bar give me the error...
"Did not find any elements and/or devices to control. You don't have the right GStreamers plug-ins installed or you don't have a sound card configured."

The Device Manager shows that I have (two instances of !?!) CM8738 installed.

Checking Synaptic Package Manager shows that I have GStreamer 0.10 installed.

Should I disable the on-board audio & get sound-blaster audio card? How do I uninstall & reload a device driver?

Try to install these packages if not present in your system:
gstreamer0.10-alsa
gstreamer0.10-esd
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good

Hmm,
Okay if you run "sudo alsactl names", what do you get in "/etc/asound.names"? can you post that here?

Yeah, hmmm.

Ran "sudo alsactl names" & returns a blank (nothing).

But "more /etc/asounds.names" returns the following:
