I take it this is a laptop PC. I use an IBM ThinkPad with the same sound card. Here was my experience: Mandrake 8.1, for whatever reason, tried to install two NIC drivers for two NICs, even though I only have a single PCMCIA NIC. This has happened with three MDK 8.1 installs on this laptop. I had to remove the config for the second (non-existant) NIC in order to get sound working. Of course, I also use Gnome, so artsd is not an issue for me. So check for an extra NIC configuration. If it exists, delete the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1. There may have been some other stuff I had to remove, but I don't remember exactly. Basically, I searched for and removed any references to eth1.
