You have the sound drivers, they're not loaded, though. The included sound drivers are the OSS/Free drivers, and fairly primative. They'll work fine for basic sound playing, though. What sound card do you have? If you've got an SB live, you'll need to install the ALSA sound drivers. Even if your card is supported by the included drivers, the ALSA ones are better anyway. If your sound card is plug and play, there's another problem. If you're not technically inclined, it'll be rather hard to set up plug and play. This would be another reason to get ALSA sound drivers, as they have plug and play built in. Most ISA sound cards are plug and play. If the card is PCI and is plug and play, I don't know how it works for setting that up. Plug and play just means auto-setting up of IRQs and such parameters, so you don't have to change dip switches or jumper blocks on the card.
