Disregard the audio card. I went into Alsa web-site, copy pasted stuff into modules.conf, restarted the system and ran alsaconf. Now I just have to change the parameters to send everything via SPDIF

I had the same problem. I disabled sgi_fam service in xinetd and turned on usb service. I always install webmin to be able to do these things even if the X is misbehaving. Hope this helps. This was trial and error discovery, now every time I pop in new Mandrake I just follow mentioned procedure and after first KDE launch half-hour wait all consequent launces are fast.

I have STB Tv PRO tv tunner card (it is based on Bt848 chipset, so bttv should do it) and Philips Dynamic Edge PSC604 audio card with SPDIF out (it is based on CM 8738 chipset, so snd-cmipci should work in this case). Well, I just installed Mandrake 10CE with 2.6 Kernel and neither of the cards are being auto-detected and installed. When I probe for cards with "lspci -v", both can be seen. How can I get them to work?
