This sounds Mandrake-specific then.  Please submit your story to
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com and someone will fix it.

The installer takes a guess, yes, but you can use the Mandrake Control
Centre to change the card driver and the sound system (alsa or oss). 
You can also run this utility form the commandline if you want
(draksound).  There is talk of improving it to setup MIDI/irq options
etc., but no commitments yet.
