Ok we are having another problem with the same computer in my post
about the CD drives... Anyway this time the sound card does not work.
It is a Sound Blaster Live and it got detected on OS install time and
the modules are loaded at bootup but no sound is played. We have tried
to do the automatic sound card detection but nothing is played when
you try to test it said can't open output file /dev/dsp does not
exist.
Usual answer: go to the volume control, and make sure *all* the sliders
are up. Yes, there are a lot of them.
SB Lives work fine.

Also, check to see if you have '/dev/sound/dsp' or '/dev/sound/dsp0'
instead of '/dev/dsp'. I'm on an FC1 machine right now, so I can't
check, but I think FC2 is where all the audio device nodes moved into a
sub-directory (sound? asound? snd?). Since not all audio applications
can be configured for alternate soundcards, or device file locations,
the easiest fix is to link /dev/sound/dsp (or whatever) to /dev/dsp.
