What version of Linux, different distros have
different tools for configuration.

If it is RedHat, get the setup configuration
from the Windows irq, io address, DMA, and
sound chip set.

Then boot into Linux (preferably runlevel 3)
or run a terminal window, and login as root
then run sndconfig - Choose the sound chip,
then make sure the irq, io address and DMA
are setup the same as in Windows.

If you booted into runlevel 3 you can then do
a telinit 5 to switch to runlevel 5 and the
sound should be working.
