That doesn't sound right. Legacy Soundblasters have a driver that starts with "sb" and the Ensoniq Soundblasters have a driver that starts with "es." It's possible that the "emul" driver is trying to drive your on-board sound chip. Are you sure you have it disabled in CMOS? If your soundblaster is a legacy (i.e., ISA) card, you will need to run a little program called "sndconfig." It's not installed by default in any of the distros that I use and probably isn't in Mandrake either, so you'll have to find it & install it. It has a little bonus: as a soundcard test, it plays a recording of Linus explaining how he pronounces "linux."
