You need to find out what soundcard you have. You could possibly glean some information with the command 'lspci -v' which will list the PCI devices on your system, so you may search for the device name and find out which card you have that way. Barring that, Mandrake should have the Redhat sound utility 'sndconfig' (aptly named) that can scan your system and try to setup the card for you. At the shell, as root, type 'sndconfig' and see what happens. Luck!
