I toiled with my sound setup for many days before I found the silver
bullet (at least for setting up Dell Laptop sound). Do an 'apt-get
sndconfig'. That'll install RedHat's sound config utility. The run
sndconfig as root and it should auto-detect your sound card. Then
just monkey with the IRQ/DMA settings until you can hear the sound
sample. That'll generate a sndconfig file in your /etc/modutils
directory. Make sure you remove any other sound configuration stuff
from any other modutils files.
