[techtalk] Mandrake 8 issues

[James]

I just installed Mandrake 8 (I had an itching to try Linux as a desktop 
again).

I run the installer, it looks like it detected my SBLive!, but when I boot 
into KDE and try to run XMMS, I get no sound (It does look like the MP3 is 
playing, just no sound).

Now I have checked the idiot things (Volume up on speakers, in XMMS, in sound 
mixer, is it plugged in etc).  I also did "cat /proc/modules" and saw that 
emu10k1 was loaded (I think).

[kath at localhost kath]$ cat /proc/modules

If I goto Mandrake Control Center, click on Information and goto Sound, I get 
this displayed to me: "Sorry, no information available about that Soundcard!"

Everything else appears to be working flawlessly (*knock on wood*).

Any ideas?
