Activating on-motherboard (integrated) sound in Linux

Jerry;
Thanks for your response.
I might decide to take the route you have taken.
What kind of sound cards I should get or avoid?
Are still ISA cards preferable to PCI cards?

I have an Acer motherboard with an on board sound chip. I have never been able to get it working 
on either Windows ME or Linux. I gave up and bought a sound board, and the sound came up 
immediately.
