Hi Waleed,
Sound card is Intel Corp 82801H (ICH Family) HD Audio Controller (Rev 03)
/usr/bin/alsamixer gives 'No mixer elems found'.
Also, clicking on the volume contrtol gives the following:
The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control.
This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins
installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the
speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu.
All the gstreamer packages that came with F9 are installed:
gstreamer-0.10.19-1.fc9.i386.rpm
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.19-2.fc9.i386.rpm
gstreamer-plugins-flumpegdemux-0.10.15-2.fc9.i386.rpm
gstreagstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.8-7.fc9.i386.rpm
gstreamer-plugins-pulse-0.9.5-0.5.svn20070924.fc9.i386.rpm
gstreamer-python-0.10.11-2.fc9.i386.rpm
gstreamer-tools-0.10.19-1.fc9.i386.rpm
This seems to indicate that no sound card has been configured. Fair enough.
dmesg says that the sound card has been found. dmesg | grep sound shows
the following:

I am well and truly confused. Does any of the above make sense to you?
