Here is what I have and what I did. I just bought an Asus A7V333 with a
C-Media CMI8738. After I installed the operating system (Slackware), I
went to kernel.org and grabbed the latest stable kernel (this is actually
what I do on all installs with new motherboards that are very late
models). When I was in menuconfig to configure the kernel before
compiling, I made sure to include the support for the C-Media chipset..
There is support for both the CMI8738, and the CMI8338.
There is a howto on kernel compiling here...

And one that may be a little more towards RedHat..

Have fun..
