I installed mandrake 8.2 on a and added a sound card (es1371) later. Harddrake detected the sound card and installed everything perfectly. I can see the modules loaded, xmms plays without any cribbing, but i don't get any sound out. I tested the card and found that card is fine. I do have the same problem with another installation on a AMD Duron with SiS chipset. Here also, installation detected the card loaded all drivers but I don't get any sound out. Here are my configuration for first system.
