Yesterday I installed Fedora Core 5 on a notebook, and there is no sound on the notebook. I am not a Linux expert, and it is the first time doing multumedia on a linux installations.
The notebook is based on the Intel 945NG Chipset, and utilises the Sigmatel STAC9200 CODEC for HD sound.
When I use headphones I can hear a very very faint noise when I play music. When I am unplugging the headphones, there is no sound at all, not that I can hear. All the volume controls have been tested at max, min etc. No change.

0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 4222 (rev 02)I have read many posts around on this and other forums, regarding issues with 82801G (IHC7) Intel HDA sound, but my card does seem to be detected. In alsamixer it states that it is a Intel HD card and uses a STAC9200 chip.
The available options that I have in alsamixer is:
Master , PCM, Capture , Input So
Under input there is only the option "mic". I have checked gnome-volume-control preferences and kmix settings. I have tested with headphones, and checked that all settings are unmuted.
Code:
# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 b44
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
#alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
#options snd-card-0 index=0
#options snd-hda-intel index=0
#remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intelNote: The comments ("#") I have added myeself, this had no change on the sound in any way.
Again, I use Fedora Core 5 Final, it has Alsa 1.0.11rc2 and the Kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp
I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.
