	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).

	Jud
