Hello,
I got sound working with the default installation of Mandrake 8.0. Only
thing that I needed to do was change the modules.conf file to load the
snd-card-intel8x0 module and modprobe snd-card-intel8x0.

Dear Terence
Thanks again for your continued attention.
Well, well, well, you're never gonna believe this!
We got sound working on most of the Mandrake Linux boxes with this
chipset and audio controller. How did we do it? Bryan Howard
editted
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound
and
/etc/rc.d/init.d/usb
He removed all references to conf.modules and replaced them with
modules.conf
We rebooted and voila, sound!
Please, oh please, oh please make a note of this, post it in your
archives or something, for the next poor sucker who has the 810
chipset
AC '97 controller on a Mandrake Linux box.
Yours
Marsden

In the case that you use a motherboard from another system manufacturer, I
have to assume that it is a custom system, and that the most appropriate
route for drivers would be through your system manufacturer.
