I had somthing of the same problem with RedHad 6.0 and mandrake 7.1
I noticed that if I compiled my Ethernet Driver Before configuring sound I
would not have sound even though the sndconfig showed their was a device, it
ran through the motions of testing, did not report an error but did not emit a
single peep.
The first time (RH6) I would set up sound and make sure it worked, then compile
and install my Eth0 driver. With this turn around (MDRK 7.1) I intalled
everything in the main install, then DISABLED my Eth0, Rebooted, ran sndconfig.
Re-enabled Eth0 and I was Golden.
Hope this helps.

Greetings everyone!
Just got my 7.1 cd's from Cheapbytes and I've run across an interesting
little snag trying to get sound on my laptop (Acer Travelmate 512DX)
running. Sounddrake finds the sound "card" (I've always hated integrated
sound and video), identifies it as an ESS Solo-1 (ESS 1969). If I remember
correctly, 7.0 said it was a 1938.
Anyway, after clicking on ok, I'm presented with the list of sound cards
with the Solo-1 hi-lighted. Unfortunately, all the values for IRQ, DMA, etc,
are -1 and I can't change them. I don't get any sound at all.
Anyone have any ideas? Since it worked in 7.0, I tried installing the
sndconfig and dependant rpms, but still no go.
Many thanks in advance.
