cut and pasted from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound

In order to use CMI8330 under Linux you just have to use a proper isapnp.conf, a good isapnp and a little bit of patience. I use isapnp 1.17, but
you may get a better one I guess at http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/.

Of course you will have to compile kernel sound support as module, as shown below:

CONFIG_SOUND=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
CONFIG_SOUND_SB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_ADLIB=m
CONFIG_SOUND_MPU401=m
# Mikro$chaft sound system (kinda useful here ;))
CONFIG_SOUND_MSS=m

The /etc/isapnp.conf file will be:

<snip below>


(READPORT 0x0203)
(ISOLATE PRESERVE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)
(CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING
(VERIFYLD N)

there is alot more so go take a read :D

unzipped isapnptools file and read the install doc ,/configure got stuck half way through couldn't find "flex" or "lex" on my system,(not surprised i had to install "ppp" to get on the net)
any ideas on this flex and lex would be a great help
