Which kernel version?
Which modules are loaded?
What happens when you try to unload the modules (snd-usb-audio,

What are the contents of /proc/asound/cards at this time?

Are there any messages in the system log when you do this?

What are the messages?  Does the snd-usb-audio module get loaded?
Does it work if you load it manually?

Apparently, Mandrake has enabled devfs.
