Sound Problems in Red Hat 9

[Iraj Medifar]

Hi everyone.

I just installed RH9. Overall, it works fine for me, but I have been
experiencing problems getting my sound card to work.   My Intel 82801 AC
'97 - i810 was detected and configured automatically during
installation.  And I do have sound events as root.  But there it all
ends.  As user, I cannot get the sound events to work or the CD player
to play music.  I am wondering if my problem is among those referred to
by Marco Fioretti in his review of RH9 in the August issue of Linux
Journal.  Here is what he says about multimedia in RH9: 

"The short story is that Red Hat 9 can play music and movies fine, it
simply doesn't want to by default.  The distribution does not include
MP3 players, deCSS or anything else, including the fortune program, that
cannot be certified as freely redistributable with respect to current
law.   ....."

He then goes on to say that the problem may be solved by "... installing
the missing packages, which is really easy anyway".

If someone has experienced the same problem or knows how it should be
solved, I would appreciate his or her help. What are the files that need
to be installed? 

If it helps at all, my /etc/modules.conf file looks like this:

alias eth0 8139too
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S
>/dev/null 2>&1 || :

TIA.
