Hello,
regarding your bootloader question:
You'll need to specify the synth in the kernel line, I believe.
As for sound, have you installed the alsa driver for your card? either 
you've got a multi channel or alsa is not correctly configured--I had to 
replace the soundcard in my system a few days ago in order to get media and 
other sounds.

Thanks,
