I don't know Mandrake. Under Debian you'd be looking for something like /etc/alsa/modutils/1,0 (assuming you're using ALSA >= 1.0) or /etc/modutils/alsa-base, whatever file is created by alsaconf, you would need to insert an options line into it. Need to know what soundcard you have. Info from uname -a lsmod /etc/modules.conf etc. would be useful here. cheers tim hall
