no sound in mandrake
 

Hi all

My sound is integrated in a jetway Polaris mb, Mandrake 10 apprared to recognise it on installation and installed a driver snd-cmicpi, is't a C Media device on the mb. On bootup i get sound setup failed ( no cards installed ). When KDE starts i get " Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device."

i installed a pci card. system picked it up and installed a driver, booted, not working!
Ran alsaconf all went well, got this at end.

"Loading driver...
Starting ALSA version 1.0.2c: au8810 au8810. [ OK ]
Doing alsactl to restore mixer settings... [ OK ]
Setting default volumes...
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /etc/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found...
===============================================================================
Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
Have a lot of fun!"

any ideas?
thanks
