hello, all!
i looked in the msi website for any info in regards to configuration under
linux with no success. looked in the mo_bo manual and noticed it said:
Chip intergrated (2 channel S/W audio)
- DIrect Sound AC97 Audio
since i dual boot, i checked amongst the broken windows and found that the
sound card (chip) was a via 8233.
i'm thinking that i'm going to be shelling out pesos for a sound card,
UNLESS...
one of you good people know how to resolve my little problem!
many thanks to you

We share the same mobo and sound chip,
save yourself the money.
Go to /etc/modules.conf with a text editor and add:-
# ALSA native device support
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-via8233
If there is anythy other sound chip support, hash (#) it out.
Then go to Mandrake control center and make sure you have aRts enabled,
if you want multi chanel sound configuration.
Then go to the sound mixer app in kstart menu and make sure all the led's
are bright green ( not midgreen which is the default, and rather confusing).
Good quality sound is then enabled.
The via 8233 sound chip is OK and once the above is enabled it works
flawlessly.
