[newbie] Sound Problems

[Don Akers]

I have installed Mandrake 7.0 on a machine with an AMD k6-2 475mhz.
The motherboard is a FIC VA503A which has onboard sound.
In Windows device manager the sound is reported as
VIA AC97 PCI.
When I run sndconfig, the chips are found but then when I try sndconfig
gets to play the sample sound, I get an error of
              device or resouce busy

Does anyone have any ideas that might solve this problem?

Thanks
