the above shown via lspci is NOT an ac97 codec.
it's the sound-engine on the SIS southbridge.

and don't be fooled by the confusing name of c-media chips.
the CM 9738 is the AC97 codec chip and CM 8738 is the sound chip.
they are totally different.

please check /proc/asound/card0/ac97#0regs whether the value of
register 0x18 varies.  if it doesn't change, then something wrong.
if it changes, then the hardware likely doesn't support this PCM
channel.
