The closest fit would be the cmi driver, but it doesn't appear to support CMI 8788 parts: cmi.c:#define CMI8338A_PCI_ID 0x010013f6 cmi.c:#define CMI8338B_PCI_ID 0x010113f6 cmi.c:#define CMI8738_PCI_ID 0x011113f6 cmi.c:#define CMI8738B_PCI_ID 0x011213f6 Looking at Linux's sound drivers, our cmi(4) closely matches their cmipci driver, and their CMI 8788 driver is an entirely separate driver: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kernel.git;a=tree;f=sound/pci/oxygen;h=68b0aca62d21e91269c4e18d74724373fa785603;hb=HEAD -- John Baldwin
