Back again with another perplexing problem.
Running FC2 on a LinuxCertified laptop

I had sound for several months, then all of a sudden lost sound in everything. All apps as well as MP3, Ogg, CDs, everything.

I tried several times system-config-soundcard. I get the following:
Code:
Device detected
Vendor: Intel 82801DB (ICH4) AC97 Audio Contoller
Module:   snd-intel8x0
Play test sound ?   Yes
Did you hear anything?  NO
 Automatic detection of the sound card did not work.  Audio will not be available on the system.  Please click OK to continue.
In google'ing around I found lots of posts of lost sound in FC2, and followed several advices to re-install / edit alsamixer which didn't help.

I found lots of cases where install / upgrade of NVidea drivers borked the sound, but I didn't change NVidea drivers or even try.

I'd be most appreciative if someone passed a magic bullet or advice as to what to try or do to get bafck my sound (short of waiting for FC3 final)

Thanks in advance.
