Lightbulb Here's the fix for the SiS 7012/7018 sound problem in Mandrake 8.2
Edit your /etc/modules.conf file to either remove or comment out the two lines :

alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-intel8x0
above snd-card-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss

...and replace them with the following line:

alias sound i810_audio


....viola! After saving and rebooting, now I gots da sound!
This probably isn't the *best* way to get the sound working, but it works fine for me. All I know is that I couldn't listen to CDs in KDE before, and now I can. Aint life grand.

Also, to get the various sound effects in KDE to function, I had to go into Control Center, go into Sound, and open up Sound Server, then go to the Sound I/O tab and click Use Custom Sound Device, and change it to /dev/sound/dsp. I know there's a better way to do this, but doing it this way is a quick fix and its easy to remember how to do.

Good luck to everyone else with the same problems I had.

snd_es137x

SND_ES137X(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					     SND_ES137X(4)

NAME

     snd_es137x -- Ensoniq AudioPCI ES137x bridge device driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device sound
	   device snd_es137x

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   snd_es137x_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The snd_es137x bridge driver allows the generic audio driver sound(4) to attach to the Ensoniq 137x audio cards.

   Runtime Configuration
     The following sysctl(8) variables are available in addition to those available to all sound(4) devices:

	   hw.snd.pcm%d.latency_timer  Controls the PCI latency timer setting.	Increasing this value will solve most popping and crackling issues
				       (especially on VIA motherboards).

	   hw.snd.pcm%d.spdif_enabled  Enables S/PDIF output on the primary playback channel.  This sysctl(8) variable is available only if the
				       device is known to support S/PDIF output.

	   dev.pcm.%d.polling	       Experimental polling mode, where the driver operates by querying the device state on each tick using
				       callout(9).  Polling is disabled by default.  Do not enable it unless you are facing weird interrupt prob-
				       lems or if the device cannot generate interrupts at all.

HARDWARE

     The snd_es137x driver supports the following sound cards:

     o	 Creative CT5880-A
     o	 Creative CT5880-C
     o	 Creative CT5880-D
     o	 Creative CT5880-E
     o	 Creative SB AudioPCI CT4730
     o	 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1370
     o	 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371-A
     o	 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1371-B
     o	 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1373-A
     o	 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1373-B
     o	 Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1373-8

SEE ALSO

     sound(4)

HISTORY

     The snd_es137x device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
