You need to compile a new(er?!) kernel with support for sound. IIRC, there's some ess-options when configuring the kernel (running 2.2.14). There's a Sound-Howto here: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO.html and an index to howto's here: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/ It's really quite easy, though it may take some time on a slow machine (4-5hours on a 486/100, ~10mins on a PII-350).
