As to your actual problem ... you will have to tell us a bit more.
First, if the two setups -- Slackware and Red Hat -- use the same kernel and the same modules.conf, why do they end up loading different modules? The init scripts must be doing something quite different.
Second, what kernel is involved? Does your calling them "the same" mean just that they have the same number, or that you compiled them with the same .config files?
Third, what sound card (or mobo sound) is involved?
Fourth, if I remember my modules names correctly, your Slackware kernel is using ALSA sound modules, while your Red Hat kernel is using OSS sound modules. This would imply the need to use different apps to adjust the sound settings -- ALSA uses amixer or alsamixer; while OSS uses rexima (and maybe others) -- so I wonder in what sense the two setups can have "the same settings in sound" (and, for that matter, what "in sound" means).
Finally, what use is producing the "very annoying distorted sound" and what else can you tell us about its characteristics? (I've had problems here with VIA-chip sound under both Linux and Windows -- suggesting a harware problem -- but only when using the sound system to record, not for playback.)

In Slackware 9.1 I have a very annoying distorted sound which I am unable to correct.
My RH9.0 and SW9.1 have the same kernel and the same settings in sound. Both have the same /etc/module.conf.
SW lsmod gives:

What could be the reason for the distorted sound in SW and how could it be corrected.
