What have you done so far? What VIA motherboard? What sound chip? What Linux are you using?... and did you run sndconfig?

Yes, on most distributions simply running sndconfig (as root or su) e.g.

$sndconfig <press enter and follow instructions>

can get a sound chip working

If you run Mandrake try DrakConf/Hardware/Soundcards and run the configuration tool

On rare occasions additional modules must be added to the kernel

I am using currently Storm Linux but I will move to Red Hat.

You know, I too had problems with sound (regular soundcards) using Storm - I guess I'm just not a "Debian" Linux kind of person (Storm is based on Debian isn't it?), but I'm sure there's an easy fix that some of these gurus will share with us.

Anyway, I tried Storm for a whole of 2 days and tossed it.
