Do you get sound through the headphones?
If so look at my earlier post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-November/msg01945.html
(where I wrote active I meant activate).
Although I am using a Dell laptop, so I don't know if this would apply to a
Compaq as well. But I guess it is worth a try.

I have been trying to make the sound card on my Compaq Presario 2201
Centrino Laptop work without any success on either FC3 or FC4. The
laptop is currently running FC4 with kernel 2.6.13. The sound card is an
onboard audio controller on Intel 855 chipset motherboard. The output of
lspci detecting the audio controller is as below:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV
Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02)
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)
The system configured the generic intel8x0 sound module in the
/etc/modprobe.conf.
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
The output of lsmod is as under showing that all the modules are loaded.

What could be the problem with this ? I think that the intel8x0 might
not be the right driver for this. Has anyone been able to make the sound
work on the Compaq / HP Centrino Laptops ? Any suggestions or pointers ?
TIA,

I checked up yours and other posts and tried things as suggested but its
still not working. I could also not locate the "analogue/digital output
jack" as mentioned by someone else in Gnome as well as the ALSA Mixer.
I get these strange messages in my /var/log/messages whenever I try to
play a sound file.

I have a feeling that this might have something to do it.
Any suggestions ?
