Adding to my original post... When I run System Settings -> Soundcard
Detection and click on the [ Play test sound ] bar, I can hear the test
sound, but _very_ faintly.

When I run 'setup' from an Xterm command prompt and select 'Sound card
configuration', it runs sndconfig which promptly reports:

                 --| ERROR: No Sound Modules found |--
        
        You don't seem to be running a kernel with modular sound
        enabled. (soundcore.o was not found in the module search path).
        To use sndconfig, you must be running a kernel with modular
        sound, such as the kernel shipped with Red Hat Linux or a 2.2
        or greater kernel.

This is not surprising because soundcore.o is now named soundcore.ko. I
note that sndconfig says it's a tool for legacy sound cards. As such,
should it be replaced by a more up-to-date tool in 'setup'?
