It's got the same video chipset (Radeon XPress 200M) so my bet is it has the ATIIXP audio chipset as well. I have my sound driver built into the kernel on this system (as I now run Gentoo on it), but I had F9 on it until a couple weeks ago without trouble. You say lspci doesn't show anything? Can we see the output? Well, as it turns out the audio chipset was just being funky. I shutdown the laptop, took out the battery, waiting a few minutes, and then put it back in, booted up, and viola! lspci showed it as ATI IXP audio. I'm assuming the audio wasn't working when I installed F9 since no audio applet was installed in Gnome so I added it and everything appears to be working properly.

Thanks, Richard Hello Richard, please add atrpms repository (http://atrpms.net/install.html) from atrpms repository install alsa-driver , as dependency it will install alsa-kmdl module for your current kernel. Restart computer, and sound will work just perfect. Regards, David On the surface it looks like the only differences in the alsa packages is that atrpms is at version 1.0.17 while Fedora 9 is on 1.0.16. I can't believe that as old as this laptop is that the driver was just recently added. Is there some proprietary driver issue with the specific audio chipset in this laptop?
