Go to  /etc/modules.conf  with a text editor and add:-

# ALSA native device support
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via8233

If there is anythy other  sound chip support, hash (#) it out.

Then go to Mandrake control center and make sure you have aRts enabled,
if you want multi chanel sound configuration.

Then go to the sound mixer app in kstart menu and make sure all the led's
are bright green ( not midgreen which is the default, and rather 
confusing).

Good quality sound is then enabled.
The via 8233 sound chip is OK and once the above is enabled it works 
flawlessly
