Did a google, found this --> http://www.linux-tested.com/results/asus_p5n-mx.html

FC -8 and Mandriva 2008 both work. Note, the sound hardware was not detected.

These are not the newest releases, you may be able to get the audio going by now. FC is now version 9 and Mandriva is 2008.1 with 2009 in beta...

Your sound hardware is listed as

Quote:

On-board Realtek ALC662, 6 -Channel High-Definition Audio CODEC

Go to --> http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page and see if there is a driver for the audio.
