I think the driver broke near the beginning of the 2.4 stable series. 00:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8338A (rev 10) Subsystem: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8338/C3DX PCI Audio Device Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- SERR-
