Re: sound weirdness in Redhat 8 - no sound, touch - voila; rinse, repeat

Looks like you're on the right track.  That is, those lines in 
modules.conf load ("-L") and save ("-S") your aumix-minimal settings 
from/to a configuration file, I think .aumixrc.  (I am using ALSA and 
don't have an .aumixrc file to be certain that is the name of the file.)

http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/?pagename=details&hid=2837 says RedHat's
distribution supports Soundblaster 16.

All I can think is, look at /var/log/messages (usr/bin/redhat-logviewer) 
for any obvious messages.

same thing occurs - no sound, diddling w/ Volume Control brings it back.
