I have the same card. Had difficulties setting it up. Went to www.driversguide.com and searched for Aureal (your Solo 1). File is au88xx-1.0.5.tar.gz or something. I found I had to go into Mandrake Control Center, after file install, and go through the same motions you described (sound card hardware config). Then rebooted. Adjusted the sound afterwards (everything was turned all the way down) and it works fine. Hope it helps
