Here's Ian's thread about a similar sound card, it should be of help to you: Sound not working [solved]

[playa4real007]

thanks i'll read it and see if it woks

 

but i have a bigger problem now. when Mandriva comes to splash screen the screen turns blue. that's happened when i changed metisse to beyrl using XGL instead of default cuz default I wasn't able to choose it while compiz worked great and it was on default and metisse worked great too.

 

when i entered safe mode i didn't know what to do there i was strang for me..........(used to windows).

 

how can i change it to no 3d so i can log in again or other ways to deal with this.

[playa4real007]

i did put it but still doesn't work.

 

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

 

and it looks like this.

You add this to /etc/modprobe.conf in Mandriva. The alsa-base is for Debian based distros, which is why it probably didn't work for you.

As far as the problems with the sound go, here's what works with my laptop (Acer 3680). Open up KMixer, and the Headphones and speakers are actually 2 separate outputs. So, you can enable all the outputs, and then you should hear sound, from both the speakers and the headphones. Then disable them one-by-one until speakers/headphones turn off. For me the speakers are hooked into 3D Surround, while the headphones are hooked to the front channel. It seems that the audio drivers are broken, such that it doesn't sense when headphones are plugged in, and disable/enable the appropriate sound channel.
