This is normal, your CDRW is recognized both, as ATAPI CDROM and a SCSI
CDwriter; the SCSI emulation is essential to have linux burning CDs. So is
not a confussion with your sound card.
Probably to have your sound card working you must install sndconfig (rpm in
the second disk of Mandrake 7.2) and run it from a text screen; It ussually
works fine except for some very specific sound-cards. Anayway, you didn't
mention what kind of sound card do you have!!!
I have a winmodem in my laptop and I have reached it to telephon, but it
doesn't work well (this was made using lucent modules). I think that the
better solution is buy a cheap external modem, they work fine; try with your
Texas external modem.
I hope this could help you.
