try using snd-card-cmipci instead of cmpci module: change the sound-slot-0 alias in /etc/modules. then enable alsa service (ntsysv on console, or through mandrake control center). either reboot, or restart sound & alsa services to test ALSA module instead of OSS one (but then, stop the sound service before changing its module). if ALSA driver works better for your card, send me the result of "lspcidrake -v" and i'll change the default for your card.
