Well, that wasn't /too/ bad... got a new utility out of the exercise, too,
thank you! I've now got upx installed so was able to upx -> unrar -> .pdf
here.

The way I'm interpreting the documentation is the mainboard defaults to the
on-board AC'97 sound system *unless* you install software to activate the
installed-in-parallel on-board C-Media CM7838 sound chip... in essence the
added software 'switches on' and allows you to manage the chip.

There appears to be a healthy install base and active user community here
(primarily for Vista related bugs... hehe): http://www.cmedia.com/forums/

The company says it supports "open source drivers" but I didn't drill down to
confirm. They do, however, link to http://www.alsa-project.org/

At first glance, it wouldn't surprise me if it allowed full software
configuration vis a vis 2/4/6 channels and what inputs or outputs are
actually made available at the 'line in' and 'line out' jacks.

Have you explored these ideas already?
