you need to compile the Kernel with sound support.
(ten steps to heaven)
1 download the latest kernel or keep the one you have
2 Get the manual out of your bookshelf, and figure out what kind of
sound card you have.
3 get the IRQ, dma ++ settings for the sound card
4 uncompress the kernel you have downloaded, name it linux-x.x.x make
a symlink to it that is called linux.
5 open the readme in /usr/src/linux-x.x.x file and read it, it is not
vague.
6 start xconfig, config or...
7 configure the sound card section with the sound support (and the
rest of the things you need) compile it and copy it to /boot
8 then you can run yast and put the new kernel in to lilo (you can
have one called linux and the other called "whatever")
9 when you reboot the machine, press tab and both kernel names should
be there.
10 just type inn the one that you want. if it does not work, reboot and
chose the other one.
