Sound won't work with Abit IS7-E.

I'm using the onboard sound, which I think is the intel AC97. The sound won't work at all in the GUI, and when it is shutting down it always prints [failed] next to dev/mixer. I am a complete newbie. Please help me. I want to listen to music while programming. It's the only thing stopping me from using linux as my #1 OS. Assume I have no knowledge of linux except how to open up a terminal and type on a keyboard.

Which distro are you using?

Redhat 9.1. GNOME is the interface I think.

Anybody know this? One day later and I'm still working on ecs assignments without the kill bill soundtrack to back me up. So boring...

you might want to start xmms or something from terminal and tell us what the error is. I had mine always tell me my /dev/dsp was in use. So i had to kill some programs to get it out of use.
