Audio problem - R4E with Linux (Fedora 17) installed

Hi guys, I just installed Fedora 17 on my system (getting bored with Windows OS), have anyone had experience on getting the audio to work in Linux OS?
I just can't get any sound or there is a custom audio driver for Linux on the web?

Thank you so much for your reply, please see below:

[hide@hide ~]$ lspci |grep -i audio

Also give me the output of
"sudo lspci -s 8:0 -vvnn"

and

"lsmod | grep snd"

EDIT: Gah, my brain doesn't work sometimes. I assumed you meant the RIVE onboard Realtek codec but you are using a Phoebus. Although I saw the C-Media Electronics Inc Device 5011 I didn't make the connection lol. There is currently no kernel driver module for CMI8888 that the Phoebus uses. As far as I know work is being done so that hda-intel driver will support it. Unless you want to hack into the snd_hda_intel sources yourself your best bet is switching to your onboard sound for now. Do post the output of the above commands though, I want to see if snd_hda_intel is loaded for the device or not.

EDIT2: You could try pulling kernel and alsa packages from rawhide if you are familiar with the process but not sure if that would work due to dependencies.

Thank you for your effort mate.
In this case, I don't think it is worth all the effort on making the Phoebus to work right now...
After all, I still think playing game (Using Phoebus) under Windows is a lot better.

Anyway, please see the output below

As was expected there's no driver loaded for the card. snd_hda_intel should support it soon (without advanced features) and snd_oxygen should eventually provide support with extra features. For now if you want to try and get it working you can see this thread:
http://www.mentby.com/Group/alsa-user/asus-xonar-phoebus-support.html

but it involves recompiling a kernel 🙂
