CMI8738_WDM_0629.zip - 2.x Megs
These drivers are newer than the ones available off the Windows Update site. They fix the missing gameport issue with last few driver releases among other things.
Also, like most files on CMedia's site, the file most likely wont be there forever.

A Korean company has released their own version of the 627 WDM drivers. As mentioned from the 3DSoundSurge forums, "MAYA 5.1 drivers are the same as those on C-Media site but they have fixed the INF file and configured it for 5.1 output cards."
Also - something I noticed is the Mixer from the drivers is the SAME mixer I put together for my "hacked" drivers, with a custom tray icon from Windows XP. The default CMedia Mixer tray icon was kinda ugly, so I put my own in the Mixer program - and now it seems this Korean company is using my custom mixer in their drivers. I don't know if I should feel flattered or ripped off. :)

Since CMedia's FTP site doesnt seem to be working right now, I decided to upload my own custom 627 WDM drivers.
You can grab them here: driver section
Changes include:
* Changed the tray icon for MIXER.EXE.
* Changed the spelling of some items in CMAUDIO.INF.
Other than those changes, they are identicle to the 627 WDM drivers that use to be availble from CMedia. Their FTP site has been down for a few days, and I don't know when it will be back up.

I had a CMedia faq, (REMOVED), so some people can read more into this awsome sound chipset. It is currently in early stages.
