If you actually mean the Red Hat 7.3 from
2002...which is THIRTEEN YEARS AGO, why are you surprised? That hardware wasn't INVENTED when RH 7.3 was written. Load a current version...if you want to stay in the Red Hat ecosystem, then load the latest version of Fedora, and chances are it'll work.
But the latest Red Hat ENTERPRISE release is 7.0, not 7.3...and that is a commercial, PAY FOR distribution, designed for servers. Servers typically do not have things like sound, wifi, bluetooth, or even graphics and keyboards sometimes. They are designed to sit in a back room, and distros like RHEL and CentOS are poor choices for laptops or consumer hardware.
Which do you have?
