Under Mandrake 10.1 the card seems to have been recognised OK and the

Does it appear in /proc/asound/cards?
I've never worked out how to do this. if I try to load the 'file' I
just get 100% cpu usage producing nothing.
however no
applications seem to be able to find the card.
Is it listed in the output of "aplay -l"?
This returns
aplay: device_list:200: no soundcards found...
I have also
just got a copy of Suse 10 so tried that as well on a
spare hard drive. This time the card is fully recognised, and sound is
produced but is over-loud and distorted when running Amorok. Changing
volume levels doesn't seem to help, and the graphic display on Amorok
clearly shows clipping going on.
When Amarok decides to send clipped data to the sound card, the driver
cannot help.
I was very puzzled by this as an older version of Amorok used to work
fine under Mandrake, but I notice this uses the aRts engine (which
seems to not be available on Suse.

I am now in the nightmare situation of having a new soundcard which I
*know* should work (and be far better than the on-board audio) but
unable to use it on either OS :((
