It is no snd-riptide driver in alsa. I don't know how mandrake can found a driver that doesn't exist. I am affraid at the only thing you can do is to buy a new soundcard if you want to have sound in linux with your box. Look here: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ before buying to be sure at alsa will support it. You can ask HP to release developper information for their sound chips too.
