I see what you are saying. When I do the kernel build, I use the Mandrake src.rpm for the process. The kernel source comes with the alsa source too and there are build lines in the .spec file for alsa. Also when I do an 'rpm -qa kernel' and grep for cmi I see the modules as included with the rpm and I double checked to make sure they are actually there, which they are. I also see the OSS drivers in another directory. I guess your right, my machine is ussng OSS and not ALSA even though ALSA is installed. I've had the mistaken impression that since Alsa was installed, Mandrake defaulted to that, but I guess it doesn't. I guess I'll now take this back to the Mandrake list to fix this. Since OSS isn't working fully, I'll look to see how to get Alsa up and running on my machine and start again.
