This card shares PCI ids with Chaintec AV710. Therefore, it will not be detected automatically, it can only be activated by the module parameter model=sq210a.
Hrm, that's bad. Do you know any other way to identify the device?
I am afraid I do not.
There is already a conflict with the AV710; it appears all three vendors use some default ID.
Plus I would not be surprised if the other cards with different accessories produced by that company shared all the same PCI ids and differed just in EEPROM configs (most likely incorrect too :-) )
Their CMI8788-based cards implement only features that are a subset of those supported by the generic Windows driver. (I guess they ship an .ini file that disables things like 7.1 output on a stereo card (thus breaking other models with the same ID), but it's possible that they just don't bother.)
Pavel, please don't forget to update the sound card matrix: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-%E5%82%B2%E7%8E%8B
