I'm unfamiliar with both your Satellite and your
Red Hat, so perhaps I should keep my mouth shut. 
But the combination you describe makes me think of
how Alsa mutes the mike (and everything else) and
OSS (I think) doesn't, so if your machine has a
built-in mike, you may be mixing in computer and
other background noises without realizing it, until
you run Alsa and it mutes the mike.  If I'm write,
setting a mute mike with aumix, say, doing a save
there, and then running aumix -L when you log in,
might solve the problem.
