I think I am making progress. Stew was trying to help me on ICQ earlier
today. I was getting a bunch of unresolved symbols in the alsa modules during
boot. Installing the libarts and arts rpms took care of all of that. I was
trying to look at the alsa web site for help. I still do not have sound. I
saw where the default is mute. I typed amixer as they describe but I get:
[root@localhost dippy]# amixer
amixer: Mixer attach hw:0 error: No such file or directory
When I check my modules with lsmod I get:
[root@localhost dippy]# lsmod

Here is my /etc/modules.conf:

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
I don't know if any of this helps. I am just trying to give any info that
would be helpful. Let me know what you think.
