Hello, regarding your bootloader question: You'll need to specify the synth in the kernel line, I believe. As for sound, have you installed the alsa driver for your card? either you've got a multi channel or alsa is not correctly configured--I had to replace the soundcard in my system a few days ago in order to get media and other sounds.
