Hello everyone,
              I have installed Fedora 9 with KDE 4 on my Acer Aspire
4720 laptop. However, I am facing problems with the audio and also
pulseaudio does not start.I get the error Connection failed :
connection refused. What is the problem? Also my sound settings show
that pulseaudio and snd-hda-intel are disabled or not installed

As Rex said, this is not a pulseaudio issue. Alsa isn't being detected properly.
It is loading a driver module, but looks like the wrong one.
This is the output of lspci

It looks like it is the wrong driver module. You probably need to add options like 3stack 6stack etc. Your card is defaulting to 3stack so you probably want to try other options.
Add them in the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file as lines like:
options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3

This is necessary because the hda_intel chip can be wired in many different
ways, so of course it is wired in many different ways.  Alsa has a hard time
differentiating them in some cases, and gets it wrong. The above gives it a hint to use the correct one.

Thank you

Could you also run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option and attach
the generated file for a more comprehensive information?
