Thank you Willem. I wore out my googler, but somehow missed that info. Easier to just get another sound card I guess.

The module required seem to be: snd-cs46xx. It looks like there is a lot of information to solve this by doing a search for "download kernel module snd-cs46xx". It is a non-free module. You would likely have to get the code and build it against your current kernel.
