Hi,
Windows 98 has poor driver and resource management. It is probably binding up and failing to boot due to a resource conflict, which was caused by the drivers being inappropriatly allocated resources that were allready used.
Solution:
Boot into Safe Mode and delete the sound driver from device manager.
Then boot normally. Download the latest driver and make certain there are no IRQ, DMA, or other I/O conflicts. When you reboot, y our system should come back up with working sound.
If you want to save hastle, just load 2000 or XP on that computer. Also make sure your setup program is set to allow the OS to do Plug and Play and load drivers, and that you have ACPI support.
Provided you have those things and the minimal configureation, load 2000 or XP. Heck, if you load XP, I bet the defautl drivers are provided by Microsoft. The problem will just disappear.
