Yankl,
I'd never heard of lspci or lspcidrak until you just mentioned them - here are the results:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] margot]$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. P4M266 Host Bridge 00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] margot]$ lspcidrak bash: lspcidrak: command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] margot]$
(Tried it as root as well, but still got "command not found")
I had another look in BIOS and can't find any other settings to play with that obviously relate to sound. There are some I'm not sure about though, because I don't fully understand what they are:
Under PCI Plug and Play Setup - Plug and Play Aware O/S - should this be Yes or No?
Also, options to change all settings to "Optimal" or "Best Performance" - I opted not to on both these, because it didn't say what it was going to do!

Margot the statement above regarding never having heard of lspcidrake was not entirely accurate. You actually posted a response to my message detailing what one could expect to be found in the draksound troubleshooting dialogue. Of course having too many 'suggestions' from such busybodies as myself it's easy to be confused. After this response I'll go back to "lurk" mode. (-;
Aha! Yankl asked about "lspcidrak", which is what I did, and got "command not found". You asked about "lspcidrake", with an "e" at the end. I didn't recognise one as being a typo!
- From what I just saw on the list archive I use
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-newbie&r=1&w=2
it would seem that sympa is playing "Hide the post" again. <sigh>
All of these commands need to be run as super user or root. If one of the commands suggested doesn't appear to have an entry in the system you're working with don't panic. Syntax and spelling, as well as any required capitalizations, are extremely important in any 'nix system.
Just for grins'n'giggles (and as an illustration of how to prevent hair loss <g>) open a terminal as super user or root and type:
dra <Tab>
by which I mean hit the Tab key. That's the bash auto-completion function. It may actually help you in some situations.
Thanks Charlie - I got a list of words - presumably commands? - starting with "drak". The <Tab> tip is a useful thing to know.
Can I assume that it will always be "drak" if at the beginning, but "drake" if at the end? Or is it irregular, like English spelling? <g>
