I gave it some thought and now i remember that sndconfig saved me. If you the
kernel is built with support for your soundcard and all the module dependancies
are set up correctly, then sndconfig is your next step. (That means we're
hoping that your kernel will support it, but try this next step as it's quick
and easy.)
If you don't have it installed then just install from your installation CD's,
or download it from one of the many Mandrake mirrors. I've got 7.2 installed
right now and the package sndconfig-0.55-3mdk.i586.rpm is on the extension CD
(of the two install CD's).
There's an excellent chance that when you run that, your problems will finish.
Install and run sndconfig.
cheers,
