When I bought my system a couple of years ago, I got it with a Creative Vibra 128 sound card, and disabled the onboard soundchip - as you have done. Mandrake 7.2 happily noticed all this and loaded the driver for card.
Since then, with all subsequent upgrades, it has always ignored the card and loaded the driver for the onboard soundchip, as is happening for you. (Fortunately, this driver still works for the sound card, just not as well as the right one would.) I have not been able to fix it. So, if you do get an answer, please let me know too.

hi!
i've killed my onboard soundchip, so i bought a new Creative SB Live PCI and pluged it in. i deactivated the onboard soundchip in BIOS (which doesn't change anything, the soundcard is still there).
now i tried to configure my pc to use the new sound card in MCC -> Hardware -> Hardware List and ran the cofiguration tool where both soundcards are listed (onboard soundchip and SoundBlaster). the configuration tool tells me:
"Your card currently use the OSS "cmpci" driver (default driver for your card is "snd-emu10k1")"
the problem is, that i can choose only one driver which is snd-cmipci (the driver for the broken soundchip), but i have not listed any driver for the new SoundBlaster.
how can i tell the system to use the SoundBlaster with the driver snd-emu10k1?
thanks,
andreas
