FC4 sound card correctly detected, but no sound

[Shantanu Shah]

I had a similar problem on FC4 Dell Inspiron 700m. I
solved it by using the following method. Let me know
if it works for you. 

# To enable sound from your laptop, run #alsamixer.
# Scroll to the rightmost colum using the right arrow
and hit m. (i.e. turn it on)
# Exit the program by pressing Esc. Sound should now
be working.

I Have FC4 (kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) installed in a
DELL Inspiron
600m. The sound card is Intel Corporation
82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97. It was detected correctly
and the module
snd-intel8x0 was installed during the installation and
later soundcard
detection. But when I press the "play test sound"
button, no sound can
be heard. The speaker is not muted. Any idea what went
wrong?
Appreciate it.
