After a fresh 'recommended' install of LM8.2 I got no sound and noticed this:

[root@amd frans]# cat /etc/modules.conf

alias usb-interface usb-ohci
alias eth0 3c59x
alias sound-slot-0 ad1848

I edited this file to read:

[frans@amd frans]$ cat /etc/modules.conf

alias usb-interface usb-ohci
alias eth0 3c59x
#alias sound-slot-0 ad1848
alias sound-slot-0 opl3sa2

After rebooting I have sound support :)

I had the same problem with LM8.1 and 'modprobing the ALSA driver' worked
in 8.1 and 8.2. But now a simple edit of /etc/modules.conf seems enough :)

Btw, neither DrakConf (complained about an isa-pnp module while ISA PnP 
support is compiled into the 'standard' kernel) or 'sndconfig' was able to
get me sound support :(  

Btw2, I'm impressed by the ease of installing LM8.2, with a 'recommended' 
install, I just had to answer a few simple questions to get on the internet!
