Try typeing kmix in the console and turning all the levers up, Linux has these sounds disabled by default for some reason.
ok i have sound, but it can only do one thing at once.... like only play music, no Aim sound... or i can't play music and a game at the same time?
does it have to do with the acpi or something in that area?

I have better results with typing 'knoppix alsa' at boot.
With ALSA, there's still only one sound at a time on my computer, but it's not always the first app that I opened.
Apparently there are other workarounds, but they require editing some configuration files I'm not sure you can do in Knoppix.
