Yes I have the correct line in modules.conf. After more digging it
appears that I'm not the only one with this problem. I founded this bug
report on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=487761&group_id=3242&atid=103242
I also tried the ALSA driver (snd-card-via686a). The result: no sound and
no error message in /var/log/message. And yes I have unmuted everything.

[Cooker] Sound with Compaq Presario 700CA laptop
Hello, I installed Cooker (Mandrake 8.1 + upgrade to cooker) on my new Compaq Presario 700CA laptop and the sound does not work. This laptop is based on the integrated chipset KN133 (AMD Duron). The sound card is detected and correctly configured by hardDrake (model VT82C686 [Apollo Super AC97/Audio] with kernel module via82cxxx_audio). But I can't get any sound with this laptop. This is probably due to the two sound buttons on the laptop (a + and - to increase/decrease the volume). I guess that something else has to be activated but what? Has anyone seen something similar?
