Option 1a: 

Boot Knoppix. See how it has the soundcard configured, try to replicate
the setup under Mandrake. Copy /etc/modules.conf to a floppy and try it
out on Mandrake. 

I have a ISA Sound Blaster AWE 64, I think, and I've had no problems
configuring it with Mandrake or SuSE... SuSE has extra-nice features for
managing the soundcard, IMHO. 

Also, try reporting the problem to Mandrake using bugzilla:

Good luck,
