The answer is drivers. In Linux, they are called modules, but they serve the same function. They are little pieces of code that allow the operating system to understand how to interface with your hardware. Depending on which version of Linux you installed and depending on which sound hardware you have will determine how easily you get sound.
Most Linux distributions now depend on something called the ALSA sound system, which is a very versatile architecture for doing sound on Linux. Ubuntu, for example, will do its best to detect your hardware and use the right modules automatically.
There is no such thing as "Linux XP". If you're referring to Windows XP, then the answer is no. As far as Linux distributions, for the majority of distributions, they are free (as in freedom) and free-of-charge.
