You'll need to make sure you're loading the right kernel module to drive 
the sound card, then. Its probably nothing to do with having two sound 
cards, just that you don't have either set up at all.
"lspci" will tell you what the cards are unless there's ancient ISA 
horror involved, and then you can have a look around (try google) for 
info on the right driver module to use with the card(s).

I've just been forced to RH for the new dual Xeon at work and it works a 
treat, but with one massive problem - up2date /sucks/, at least compared 
to apt. The "view advisory" option is v. cool but where's my mirrors list?!?
(someone kindly pointed me at apt4rpm on [plug] recently when I asked 
about that - thanks, though I haven't had a chance to try it out yet)
