Disable alsa at boot open your desktop control center->sound, then click on the Sound I/O tab and set "Use Custom Sampling Rate" to 48000, go back to the General tab and uncheck "Start aRts Soundserver on KDE startup, and then hit "Apply." Next, open Mandrake Control Center->Hardware-> and find your sound card. Run the sound card configure utility and you're set. the sound should work. -- daRcmaTTeR Registered Linux User 182496 Mandrake 8.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2:05pm up 3:48, 2 users, load average: 0.06, 0.10, 0.09
