sound broken in kde + rh6.1




someone mentioned audio not working in kde...
easy Fix for RedHat 6.1 kaudioserver
                  Problem

                  Written by: Scott R. Haven

                  Problem:

                       Enabling "System Sounds" through the "KDE Control
                       Panel" has no effect in Redhat 6.1. The kaudioserver
                       fails to start due to an apparent typo in the
                       /usr/bin/startkde script.

                  Fix:

                       Enter the following command to create a symbolic link to
                       /etc/sysconfig/soundcard from /etc/sysconfig/sound
                       ln -s /etc/sysconfig/soundcard /etc/sysconfig/sound

                                  More Information
                   The relevant section of /usr/bin/startkde reads:

                   # Only start up sound services if there is a
                   soundcard configured.

                   if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/sound ]; then
                       . /etc/sysconfig/sound
                       if [ "$CARDTYPE" != "" ]; then
                           sleep 1 ; kaudioserver
                           (sleep 1 && exec kwmsound) &
                       fi
                   else
                       # have to assume maybe a soundcard was
                   configured manually

                       sleep 1; kaudioserver
                       (sleep 1 && exec kwmsound) &
                   fi

                   The script is looking for a file called /etc/sysconfig/sound
to
                   determine what kind of card you have. The correct name of
                   this file is: /etc/sysconfig/soundcard.
