Kent, thanks for being so helpful. I tried using that page before but I always got messed up with the isa stuff and remebering stripping that stuff of the pcm line to get it to work. I did not have to modify the kernel.conf file to get the sound to work. Maybe I should try configuring devices on boot up with the visual interface and see what that says. I may just have to fix something there.
