The normal way to enable sound is to "insmod sound" as root. You can put that command in your boot.local file if you want it everytime you logon.
Most people install "kerneld", the kernel daemon. This automatically loads any module that is needed to run any program. So the sound module would be loaded automatically as your program requests it. Look for package kerneld, and install it.
I have the same problem with kerneld installed. While kerneld handle as I expect the floppy device and other stuff I compiled as module (i can see them with lsmod and the item automounted or whatever else - I don't remember exactly because I'm not at my Linux box- tell me that they are handled by kerneld) it doesn't for the sound device. As concerning YaST I remember that someone on this list wrote that the sound option on YaST is enabled only for OSS. Maurizio P.S. If you can manage it tell me because I am stuck with insmod, yet.
