I'm having the exact same problem getting sound on MDK 10.0. Yesterday, I
confirmed, once again, that if I pop in the MDKMove LiveCD, sound works (as
it does with every other LiveCD I tried). However, take MDKMove out and boot
in to MDK10.0 and sound is gone again.
I won't get in to the details and my debugging outputs right now, as I see the
original poster hasn't gotten a response for his permanent fix yet so I don't
want to hi-jack his thread with my details.
However, I've seen other posts about sound issues with MDK10 on other forums.
WIth MDK Official so close, is this something that Mandrake has acknowledged
and is trying to sort out? I imagine it must be a pretty simple fix, given
MDKMove was fine.
