I'm using Madriva 2006 and sound just works out of the box. Initially
it sets up as OSS but I've chaned to ALSA (just a personal choice) but
both worked fine.

The drivers it chooses are snd-intel8x0 for alsa and i810-audio for OSS.

When I've had sound probs on other machines I've found using alsaconf
can spot any unusual configs (eg sound on the thinkpad 600).

For info my modprobe.conf is

alias eth0 orinoco_pci
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /bin/true
alias eth1 e100
remove snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
remove i810_audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove i810_audio
install i810_audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install i810_audio

Don't ask me to explain it.

Good luck
