CMI8x38 Driver For S.u.S.E 6.1 Installation Steps
1. S.u.S.E 6.1 does not have CMI8x38 Driver built-in.
2. Copy the sound card driver to “/usr/src/linux/drivers/sound” directory.
Suppose the driver is provided in a floppy disk, execute the mount floppy command to read the content of disk.
#mount –t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
Copy the driver to the following directory (example given in “cp” command in console):
#cp /mnt/floppy/cmpci-2.41.tar.gz /usr/src/linux/drivers/sound
3. Decompress the driver files
Locate the directory where Sound Driver is situated.
#cd usr/src/linux/drivers/sound
Execute the “tar” command to decompress the driver files:
#tar xvzf cmpci-2.41.tar.gz
4. Build Driver
#cd /usr/src/linux
#make menuconfig
Linux Kernel Configuration

#make dep
#make modules
#make modules_install

5. Configuring the 4 channels parameters:
Use the vi text-editor to modify the /etc/conf.modules configuraiton file.
#vi /etc/conf.modules
Execute the “a” command to modify and add-in the following line:
”options cmpci four_ch=1”
Press ESC and key in “:wq” to save and exit the vi editor
6. Reboot your system when configuration is done.
#reboot
7. Manually load CMI8x38 driver.
#modprobe cmpci
8. Execute the “play” command to test Wave files. You should be able to hear 4 channel sound effect.
