Cool, we can test that we have the correct module by doing the following
as root
modprobe -a snd-cmipci

Then look at the kernel output at the end of /var/log/messages
The lsmod command will also show if the modules are loaded. Try playing
some sound. If you aren't hearing anything run alsamixer in the console
and check the levels. By default they are at 0 or muted so you don't
blast yourself.

If the module works ok then add the following to your /etc/modprobe.conf
file (as root) so that the module just gets loaded from now and and
saves your mixer settings. 

alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci

install snd-cmipci /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-cmipci &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

remove cmipci { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-cmipci

I've put spaces in between the lines there to differentiate that there
are only supposed to be 3 lines, but being long they'll get wrapped by
my mail client.
