Right on all f this about sounddrake and sblives. What I have figured is
that SBlives are usally setupfine out of the box, when you install. Now if
you start harddrake and go to sound drake, it messes up the /dev/dsp and
/dev/mixer files so it no longer works. In mandrake 7.1 there is another
sound setup utilty called sndconfig. This has on problem with SBLive cards.
The New version of Harddrake corrects the problem with the one that is in
the Box.
Just my bit.
