No sound after upgrading to RHEL4.4

Here's a link to a thread on this issue, but not with RHEL4.4, it might
help:

http://www.notebookforums.com/thread116281.html

Almost to the bottom, there's a post about the options line for the
sound card. In these messages, I've only noticed the line below:

options snd-card-0 index=0

In the post it states you should add a line such as:

Options snd-had-intel model=3stack

This is all with the alsa drivers being used. Hope this might lend a
clue.

Here are some settings to try in the modprobe.conf file:

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore

alias snd-card-0 snd-azx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# OSS/Free portion (OSS emulator layer
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

I realize some of these are in there already, but not all of them. Give
them a shot, they might help.
