David,
I had a similar problem with an onboard chip on an ASUS board. Go to the
Mandrake website, click on the HardDrake link (under the curly-haired
penguin) there are 4 rpm's to download and install detect-xxx and
harddrake itself. You will also need the alsa rpm. Load these and then
run harddrake. This should find your sound chip and allow you to
configure it - worked for me.
A couple of notes:
1) try the existing harddrake - you might get lucky, but I couldn't
install anything with it.
2) on at least one installation there was some sort of problem with
doing this, and the owner could not get the new harddrake to run - not
sure what the problem was.
Give it a whirl - worked like a champ for me, and my sound chip is not
listed as one of the supported chips.
