[PD] [OT]Audio configuration on Redhat 8.0? HELP!!

[Rory Walsh]

This one goes out to the the redhat users out there! I
have installed redhat 8.0 on my laptop and everything
ran very smoothly, everything runs, except the
sound(which is the only reason I installed it in the
first place!). Basically whenever I log into a session
I get an error saying, /dev/dsp/ no such device....,
the soundcard I have is just a simple Via Tech AC97, I
would have thought that is was a standard enough
generic sound card? I tried to install OSS but that
failed, giving these results,

****************************************************
your currently detected hardware combination works
with the base OSS software
so you don't need to select any additional drivers
when ordering the permanent OSS license.

Warning: Some of the devices failed to initialize.
See /usr/lib/oss/soundon.log for more info.

Some common system setup errors were detected:
     1: PCI interrupt not allocated by BIOS

Please look at /usr/lib/oss/errors.log for
troubleshooting instructions.

Another thing, I have not used Linux since I was in
university and I seem to remember tools like SndConfig
where I could config my audio? Things like this seem
to be mising from this distribution. I also looked at
ALSA but it appears that I need the src for my linux
distro, I don't have this either.
