My system has a soundmax using the intel AC-97 chipset. I had some troubles
getting this card working on Fedora 2 and 3, but here is how I resolved it.
In /etc/modprobe.conf I had it load the snd-intel8x0 alsa module.
In /etc/hotplug/blacklist I added snd-intel8x0 to the list of drivers to not
hotplug.
Finally, I saved my changes, rebooted, and then turned up the volume in the
Gnome volume control and it worked.
Maybe this will help you as well.
