Have you tired Redhat's "sndconfig" yet?  For basic cards, even some PnP
cards, RH gets things right.

Otherwise, you'll need to download and configure "isapnptools."  It's not
hard to set up but it is kind of tedious.  You run the included "pnpdump"
which will dump a huge lisp-esque config file -- with none of your pnp cards
enabled.  You have to find the entry that you like based on allocated
resources and uncomment it (I usually choose the one that is most like how
Windows allocates resources for the card).  When you're done save it as
/etc/isapnp.conf and /etc/rc.d/rc.local is usually a good place to run
"isapnp" at boot time.

THEN read the sound-howto and find the correct module to install for your
hopefully supported sound card.  In your /etc/conf.modules, alias "sound" to
that module and define all parameters specifying the resources (the
parameters vary with the module).  When you get it right, the sound drivers
will load and unload automatically as needed.  This whole procedure should be
in the howto.

Post and email (remove NO and SPAM) if you want more details for any of the above.

Good luck!
