Well, I don't know what your problem is... no sound at all? What
Mandrake version are you running? I've used an integrated AC97 sound
chip (Soyo) with Mdk8.0 thru 8.3. It's always been setup and
functioning after an install of the OS. MSI's are good boards, you
should have the same results. The AC97 is sort'a particular about
which sound server (OSS, aRts, ALSA) it uses with various apps tho.
You should specify which MSI mobo you've got. Maybe someone with the
same board can help.
FWIW, here's my relevant parts lspci, lsmod, and modules.conf
