[lug] How do you make sound work?

[Hugh Brown]

Assuming RH, then go to a non-X session (init 3 as root from a terminal)
and then run sndconfig.  In the past, when I have tried sndconfig from X
it locks up the machine (there's a note to that effect and they really
meant it).  That should configure your sound card and load the
appropriate modules (assuming it is a supported sound card).
