I'm having similar problems. The MDK LiveCD recognized my soundcard without an issue (as did two other LiveCDs), but MDK 10.0CE won't recognize it and I just haven't had any luck getting it to work, despite that fact that MDK appears to recognize it.

I sit just me, or is multimedia totally screwed up in 10.0? I can't even listen to an audio CD. I sorted out my soundcard after a lot of tweaking some time ago, but now I try to listen to a CD and Xine and KsCD give me no sound, and Totem hangs the system and needs a dirty reboot.
Sir Robin
which kernel do you boot to?
I don't know if you were asking Rory or me. I'm using 2.6 - it gave me a lot of grief at the beginning, then I hacked /etc/modprobe.conf and it worked fine for a while, except for Totem, which has never worked for me (and a fair few others) in 10.0.
Last night the whole audio side went doolally, but (after rebooting) it's working fine this morning (at least KsCD is - I'm not touching Totem any more). I think it was probably a dodgy CD causing Xine to leave a zombie process somewhere (naturally I tested with a different CD, but maybe the old one left some crap in the system).
What I find puzzling about 10.0 in general is not that some things don't work - I expect that, particularly since it is essentially a beta. However, my experience with Linux to date has been that things either work or they don't - there's no "works sometimes" (that's something I associate with that other OS). My experience with trying to get wvdial to run on boot is similar. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't.
