Hi,
I am trying to get sound going on my IS 639 chip set based PC. I am running RH7.2 which detected my SIS accelerated audio and loaded the 'appropriate' modules. But no sound.
Anyway, I have tried lots of things but basically I am stuck. The current situation is sndconfig detects the chips OK and the modules soundcore, trident and ac_97 have loaded OK. I tried cat /usr/local/sndconfig/sample.au
/dev/dsp but it just there doing nothing till I kill it.
Yes, I have run up a mixer and made sure the volume controls are turned up.
I was thinking maybe I needed to pass some parameters to the card but when I tried to add an options trident io=0x220 line to modules.conf I get an invalid option error. I even looked at the trident.c source from which it is apparent this module works for four different card types so maybe there is an option I need to select here.
So what do I do next?

It appears to pick the card by looking at the PCI ID. You could compare the lspci -v output to that in the source to see if it selects the right one.

I don't know. Maybe give the ALSA drivers a crack?
