As a general rule I've found that Red Hat doesn't like sound cards.  I
have come across people who have been able to get RH to produce sound
but they have been few and far between.

I'd suggest the following.  Get a cheap sound card from Maplin
Electronics. Don't spend money on hardware it's a waste of time. 
Other thing is download and try to install either Alsa or OSS.  If you
can get these to work with RH then that's much better than the RH
sound config tool.

I've now tried RH with four different cards and RH 5.1 to 6.2 still
wouldn't produce a single sound at all.

Thanks
