You normally wouldn't install both of these. The CC runtime
is smaller and the Dictation-Runtime does CC and Dictation.

Ingo,
  You need to double check your 16bit sound. You probably have
8bit sound working but not 16bit. It's a whole other set of
resources(interrupts, io ports, etc.). Mandrake has Sound-Drake,
that checks both 8bit and 16bit. Not being familiar with
Slackware I can't advise how to check your 16bit sound, but it
sounds like your sound support isn't up to the task. You also
have to make sure you are using an OSS compatible sound driver.
