I am using RHEL4 and I am am completely unable to configure sound. my
system has nothing like "/dev/dsp" or "/dev/sequencer".

I installed latest alsa drivers from alsa web-site, they installed fine,
I checked my card requires [B]snd-hda-intel[/B] module but when I try to
load the module I get this:

[root(a)raj etc]# /sbin/modprobe snd-hda-intel

That kernel's almost 2 years old, so it's not surprising that things
don't work.

New hardware + old kernel = things don't work. There were a lot of
different revisions of this audio chipset. If you have one of those
revisions that came out after 2.6.9 was released, it's obviously not
going to work right.

Your kernel's almost certainly too old to recognize the sound card.
First thing to try is to get a new kernel.

Actually it would probably be better to use a real Red Hat kernel,
instead of custom compiling your own. RH backports new features and new
hardware support to old kernels (almost) to the point that the "2.6.9"
really only specifies the kernel API.

If the reason you're custom compiling your own kernel, apparently not
even using the Red Hat source, is because you don't have a Red Hat
subscription, I'd recommend trying Centos or Whitebox, which are "free"
versions of Red Hat. They're not always completely binary compatible,
but it's probably closer to what you're trying now. Even better, if you
don't have a subscription, is to go completely clone and install from
the Centos or Whitebox media, instead of installing from RH media and
trying to "upgrade" or whatever on your own.
