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.

randomsound

RANDOMSOUND(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    RANDOMSOUND(8)

NAME

       randomsound - ALSA sound card related entropy gathering daemon.

SYNOPSIS

       randomsound [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Using  the  low	order bit of the ADC output of your sound card, randomsound gathers entropy, debiases it and offers it up to your kernel's
       random pool. It can be tweaked to only write into the pool when it drops below a certain level, and to back  off  once  the  pool  is  full
       enough.	This build will set your sound card into 16 bit mono unsigned input at 8KHz.  If your sound card cannot do that then you will need
       to change the defines in asoundrunner.c and recompile the package. You must have set up asound as root on your machine. This  can  be  done
       with the asoundconf tool and its set-default-card command.

       You  may  also need to use the alsamixer to ensure that the sound card is generating plenty of noise. Set all the gains nice and high, turn
       on any boosters you have. If you have a V_REFLVL or similar then consider tweaking that.

OPTIONS

       -D     Daemonize

       -v     Increase verbosity. Can be used more than once.

       -m     specify minimum number of bits of entropy in the pool.

       -M     specify max number of bits in the pool.

       -b     specify number of bytes of randomness to buffer for use.

       -d     specify number of bytes to deposit into the pool each time.

       -h     display help message

       -V     display version information.
