You might what to try switching to ALSA which has quite good souncard 
support.. I had a problem with my soundcard on my system when I 
installed RH9 and using the ALSA RPM's from FreshRPM's site sorted it out..

You may have to do a bit of reading on setting ALSA up, unfortunately I 
can't really remember..

Later..
