It made it possible to use practically any effect and set it to where it wasn’t overpowering. I was using the environmental effects in my old sound setup which had an effect depth control, in use it wasn’t so much of a change in the level of the effect as in the mix with the incoming signal. The environments section has a drop down menu for choosing the simulated “room” that you’re listening in and the size buttons below that set the amount of reverberation in depth, speed and decay unfortunately though there’s no setting for mixing the input signal with the processed signal output and sadly the signal you get by default is very “wet” (a musician’s term for saturated with effect) which makes it difficult to follow either lyrics in music or spoken dialogue in movie listening. In the position effect you’ll also see the rotate buttons which set the virtual speakers spinning around your actual speaker array which is pretty interesting.

I ran 'sudo modprobe snd-cmipci' to make sure that the module is running.The effects tab offers a virtual speaker positioning effect for helping to clean up any discrepancies in your speaker placement versus ideal placement. I didn't see 'cmi8738' as a chipset option when I was performing the modprobe snd- command, but I followed instructions further in the guide to compile the module, and the program said that 'cmipci' is the module used for cmi87x8 chipsets.

I had installed a TurtleBeach Montego DDL, with the CMI8738 chipset and performed a fresh installation of 8.04. When I press play for a song in Rhythmbox, the song does not play. On the sound mixer, PCM is muted, and attempting to unmute it doesn't work. I am unable to get any sound from any application.
