Help!

I have recently installed Red Hat 6.0 (kernel version 2.2.5-22) as a duel boot system alongside Windoze 95 on an Intel PC.

I can get everything working except the soundcard (which works perfectly well under 95).

The card is a 'Genius SoundMaker', the drivers supplied for Windoze are 'Yamaha OPL3-SAx Sound System' which seems to work quite nicely.

When I try to use sndconfig it probes for the card then reports,

+--------------PnP Probe Results-------------+
| A PnP sound card was found in your   |
| system. The details are:                     |
|      Model: OPL3-SAX Sound Board     |
+-------------------------------------------------------+

When I first ran sndconfig, the next step tried to play a sound but nothing came out of the speakers.
When I told sndconfig that I had not heard the sound it allowed me to change values and try again, however the values looked correct (as far as I could see) and no matter what I tried to change nothing made any difference.

However, now when I attempt to run sndconfig when I press OK to dismiss the PnP Probe Results box shown above sndconfig locks up. I cannot do anything to stop it, I can switch to another virtual terminal but cannot type anything into it. The only way I can get out of it is to reset the PC.

My questions are,

1) How can I remove the settings already saved so I can start from a clean sheet, what files do I need to edit/remove?

2) Has anyone heard of or had any experience with this kind of card before?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
