Trying to install Red Hat 9.0 on a computer with a K7SOM+ mainboard.
Its on-board sound chip is identified by the system as SiS7012, and the
driver selected is i810.

The test sound is OK, except for a little noise at the end (maybe weak
speakers?)
Other system sounds also test OK.

I can't hear anything from the CD.

And the strangest is this: The sound on web sites with Macromedia Flash
seems to be much too fast - it's high-pitched and "skippy" (like a CD
with the FF button pushed).
Except sometimes the Flash sounds start out OK - and then the browser
just hangs.
I've read that the hanging browser could be the result of another
process holding the sound device, but I don't know what could be causing
the funny high-pitched sound.
The same site will sometimes start-OK-then-hang and sometimes
run-through-with-funny-sound.

Any ideas?

Is the sound cable from CD to motherboard connected? Apparently many new
computers are built without the sound cable because it isn't used by
Windows.
