When I installed Mandrake 9.2 I logged into the Xfce desktop for my first login (i never tried this desktop or other in 9.1), the sound worked. I later logged into Kde and the sound message appeared. I updated the kernel to kernel-2.4.22.21mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm and then installed kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm (which Mandrake 9.2 did not have). I rebooted and the sound in Kde worked fine. So all you should have to do is update the kernel you are using now (if it isn't the 2.4.22.21mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm) and install the kernel-source 2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm (not sure if installing the kernel-source is what made the sound work although it might have, it was either the updated kernel or new kernel-source), and the sound in Kde should work. You can get the kernel and kernel-source from a ftp on the Mandrake installation website. Go to the ftp and there should be something that says up to higher directory, click it once or twice and then go to the updates directory, then go to the 9.2 directory, then the rpms directory and those two files should be in there. Download them and burn them to a cd.
If you need to know how to install the new kernel and kernel-source, this is how.
-burn the new kernel and kernel-source files to a cd.
-Go to init 3 (which is the text login screen). You are already at init 3 when you login if you are at the text based login. If you are at the desktop type 'init 3' and then you will be at init 3.
-Login to root (after you login, by typing su then enter the root password) then go to the cd rom directory, by typing 'mount /mnt/cdrom and the cd /mnt/cdrom', then you should be at the cdrom.
-Type 'ls' to see the kernel and kernel-sorce on the cd, if you want to see them.
-Then to install the files type:
-'rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.22.21mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm' (use this command for the kernel)
-'rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm' (use this command for the kernel-source)
Then reboot and the sound should work.

I thought I could solve this problem just by looking at related problems in the list, but,....
when I turn on my computer, everything looks [OK], until this message comes up.
Loading sound module (snd-emu10k1) modprobe: Can�t locate module snd-emu10k1
then in KDE when I log on a user... a popup window.
-Sound server informational message: error while initializing the sound driver device /dev/dsp can�t be opened (No such file or directory) The soud server will continue, using the null output device.
in DrakControl the sound card is:
[SB Live!Value]EMU10K1X
I know this type of creative labs cards have different chipsets in them, but don�t know how to make it work,,
Help..
Thanks.
