[newbie] Problems with sound and apache

[root]

Ok, lets get to my point...Ive installed mandrake linux like a month ago
but after I got used to it I started using its server, apache...I typed
httpd but when I typed "ps -ef" the two apache processes (nobody
<--PID)it says [httpd <defunct>] 5 times

and another problem...

I cant get my speakers to work and loctus doesnt do the job any better,
it just frezzes and still no sound...can anyone help me?
