It's been a long time since I saw 6.2 so I don' know what has changed 
and what is still
the same (relative to current RH/core distros).

If you you have a Graphical setup, look under start button-->system 
settings and see if
there is soundcard detection. Or, start-->system. (If I remember, 6.2 
had a start-->settings
with relative apps listed in there. Or maybe even a start-->Control Panel

No Graphical desktop, then I'm lost.
