I've tried everything with all sorts of cards and it still doesn't
work. 

Because of this I've stayed away from RH based distros.  Even Definite
Linux in capable hands wouldn't produce a single note.  That was on
normal PC hardware.  Nothing unusual.

 Soon as I switch to SuSE and OSS there's no problem at all.  Even
Debian works, not that it shouldn't.

Thanks
