Mark: These are the instructions that I followed for my Dell Laptop and Fedora Core 4. It worked great for me. I see you are running Core 5. I would try these instructions but I can not guarantee they will work on Core 5 as I am not familiar with all the changes from 4 to 5 since it's so new. Personally I would not use such a new core right away. Too many bugs and incompatibility issues. I know they work with Core 4 so it's worth a shot. The Intel on-board soundcard is supported out of the box, but the external speakers were shutoff in alsa-mixer. To turn them on: 1: Go to Applications-->Sound & Video-->Volume Control-->Edit--Preferences. 2: Scroll to the bottom, and click the checkbox for External Amplifier 3: Click on the Switches tab, and click the External Amplifier checkbox.
