Thanks Mikkel, you have pointed me in the right direction. The sound 
controller is found. The following line is from /sbin/lspci

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio 
Controller (rev 03)

The output of /sbin/lsmod | grep snd shows that sound modules are 
loaded. Does the following make any sense to you?

snd_hda_intel         336928  0
snd_seq_dummy           6660  0
snd_seq_oss            30364  0
snd_seq_midi_event      9600  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                48448  5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device         10124  3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            42496  0
snd_mixer_oss          16768  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                67076  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              21640  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc         11400  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
snd_hwdep              10500  1 snd_hda_intel
snd                    48312  10 
snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep
soundcore               9288  1 snd

Do I have to start the sound server somehow or just put in the options 
as you suggest?

Ta,
