I have been beating my head for the past 2 day's against a wall to try and
get the on-board sound to work. I did a fresh install of 7.2 and it found
the sound card and configured it. From the command line if I type play and a
wav it appears to play the wav and then returns to cli. No sound when I
start kde either. The sound card works in windows and I compared linux irq's
with windows irqs and they match. Here is a listing of my irq's:
CPU0
0: 262255 XT-PIC timer
1: 1234 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
3: 856 XT-PIC usb-uhci
7: 3012 XT-PIC eth0
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
9: 1528 XT-PIC Intel ICH
10: 0 XT-PIC usb-uhci
12: 125757 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
13: 1 XT-PIC fpu
14: 19136 XT-PIC ide0
15: 19 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
My modules.conf has the following lines relating to sound:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-intel8x0
post-install snd-card-intel8x0 modprobe snd-pcm-oss
This is the result of lsmod:

So best I can tell the sound card is setup correctly, but I still get no
sound. I figured this would be an "easy" fix, but after searching mandrake
mailing lists and mandrakeuser.org I am more confused than ever. Can someone
please point me in the right direction?
