Thanks to both of you for replying. Ross, I hope you're wrong about not getting rid of the problem. :) (If that means a new card, I hope it's an inexpensive one.) I enabled sound by adding device pcm to my kernel and MAKEDEVing the snd0 device in /dev. Regarding "apps for sound," the effects I described are always present at least from the time I start XFree86 (formerly 3.3.6, now 4.0.1) - whether it's X by itself, e.g. during configuration, or with a desktop and/or window manager (formerly Gnome+Sawfish, now Icewm). I don't recall whether the effects occur when I'm in terminal mode after boot but before startx (sorry, not at my home machine right now). When I had used Gnome+Sawfish I had sound effects for window events enabled; now with Icewm I don't. I ran a cd player app from Gnome occasionally with G+S; with Icewm I've tried running xcdplayer but it tells me I don't have a CD loaded (think I need to configure it to look at acd0c instead of wherever it's looking, but that's a different problem).
