That's not the right partition then. What does cfdisk /dev/hdc have
to say about it?

When the Linux kernel boots, it will detect any hardware which it
supports. That's not dependent on the distribution, even if RH has a
colored box that says "detecting hardware" and a program called
"sndconfig". (Since the kernel supports your soundcard, I have no
clue what that program could be doing).

modprobe emu10k1; play /usr/share/games/madbomber/sounds/bigexplosion.wav
