Mandrake comes already loaded with drivers for SB and almost every other 
device currently supported by Linux. All you need to do is have Mandrake 
detect your sound card.
Open up a  terminal window  enter 'su' followed by the root password at the 
prompt then type
sndconfig  
then experiment with the options you are presented with until you can hear 
the sound of Linus Torvalds voice.

By the way:  A common (and embarassing) cause of no sound is simply having 
the mixer levels set too low. You can find the mixer at 
KMenu>Multimedia>Sound>SoundMixer

If you still have problems a possible cause is IRQ conflicts. Post and tell 
us all about your system and we can work you through it.
