Steve,
this is going to sound weird and almost totally unrelated, but change ownership of
this file:
/tmp/mcop-$USERNAME (where $USERNAME substitue your login name)
When I first installed Mandrake 8.1 on my workstation at work I was having the same
exact trouble and that took care of it. For some reason one day it gave me an error
that told me the ownership of that file wasn't correct and because of that the sound
couldn't/wouldn't work correctly. Made that change and the sound works flawlessly now.
