Hi Kyle - Mandrake 9 has ALSA installed already by default (rc2). In fact, it found both of my cards by name during the install (intel8x0 and hammerfall HDSP).
I have heard of situations where it chooses the OSS driver by default, but in that case you should only have to change your modules.conf to point to the correct ALSA module. I can help with this if you tell me what card you have. On another sytem of mine with one card, an SBLive, I just have: alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1 above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss By the way, for using ALSA Mandrake 9, you should install two additional alsa packages: libalsa2-devel alsa-utils And, if you plan to build audio apps from sources (which it looks like you do), you will need: kernel-source libncurses5-devel All can be installed automatically with the apt-get style "urpmi" with: urpmi <package_name> urpmi will look for these packages and install them from the appropriate sources (CD, ftp, etc).
