[TriLUG] Sound problem

[Jason Tower]

if your motherboard has onboard audio, make sure it is disabled.  you don't 
want this, you only want the SB card to provide sound.  you can ignore the 
modprobe messages, redhat always puts a few lines in modules.conf to 
load/unload sound modules whether they exist or not.  if you're running kde, 
try turning the alsa soundserver on/off to see if that changes anything.
