sound issue

[Mark Grieveson]

Hello.  On a Sarge machine with 2.4.27-2-686 kernel on a Pentium II 
machine, I'm having problems with sound.  I'm using alsa, with the 
modules installed.  I've run alsaconf, and have enabled sound for gnome 
applications (gnometris, music player, etc).  This works fine, until I 
try to run a kde program (ie, kolf, or kbattleship), at which point the 
machine balks, and tells me that the device is not found, and that it is 
switching to the "null output" device instead.  Then, I need to run 
alsaconf again, to get sound back to general programs (the internet, 
doom, defendguin).  The gnome programs continue to have sound, but the 
kde programs are then silent.  If I disable the gnome sound daemon, then 
both kde and general programs have sound, whereas gnome programs do 
not.  I find this irritating, and just want sound to come from all the 
programs (without worry).  I tried upgrading to the 2.6.8 kernel image, 
but I was unable to load modules for the sb-awe64 soundcard (I even 
tried alsa-source, via module-assistant, but it failed to load the modules).
Any suggestions for how I can get sound working consistently on all the 
programs?
