[linux-audio-user] Not able to play sound

[Tim Hall]

Your email is confusing, did you mean to start a new thread or have I missed 
something?

I'm not familiar with RedHat
Have you checked that the relevant modules are loaded? (lsmod)
and the existence of sound devices? (ls /dev/snd)
probably useful to know what alsa version you're using too, if you're using 
0.5 then alsaconf should do this for you. I know that utilities like 
sndconfig write their own sections to /etc/modules.conf, so may overwrite 
your modifications.

please ignore this if I've just lost the thread & I'm stating the obvious.

I assume the rest of this is not relevant?
