[kjohnson@xxxxxxxxx (kjohnson@xxxxxxxxx)]

I have about 8 weeks of linux experience under my belt, and I'm about 
ready to tackle the job of activating sound under my SuSE 5.1 
distribution.  In general, how does one do this?  A couple of applications 
(including Tkdesk) emit a message that "/dev/sound is not recognized".  
How do I activate it, or load the sound module?  There _is_ such a file in 
the /dev directory.  

My sound card is a basic Acer AW32, with a Crystal sound chip (PnP), and 
it's listed among the supported cards in the OSS-Linux site (4Front).  I 
understand that re-compiling the kernel is probably not necessary, and I'd 
like to postpone that adventure a bit if I can.  Could someone give me 
some advice, or point me to some of the appropriate documents? 

Thanks!

-Kyle
