I don't see any easy way to disable the sound checking ....
but in reviewing the rc.sysinit file, I see that there is a file named:
/etc/hotplug/blacklist
so ... it seems if you want a module not to load, you can put the module
in /etc/hotplug/blacklist ....
--------------
try booting with the centos-3.4 disk and doing linux rescue ...
edit /mnt/sysimage/etc/hotplug/blacklist
add whatever module is associated with your soundcard
in /etc/modprobe.conf to the blacklist
remark out (with a #) anything associated with sound
in /etc/modprobe.conf as well
reboot and see if it works in CentOS-4
-------------
It could be the next thing that tries to load after audio as well (which
is other) in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit for hardware initializing
