FC3 Intel i810 Sound Solution

[Wayne Leutwyler]

There is a sound issue with the intel i810 sound cards. On some 
PC/Laptops the intel sound card will be detected, but the sound will not 
play. If you do a lsmod it will show the sound card modules loaded. 
There is a simple work around for this.

   1. Patch your system up to current levels.
   2. Edit the /etc/hotplug/blacklist and add this to end of file:
      snd-intel8x0m
   3. Reboot your system. run alsamixer to check the sound levels.
   4. This should solve the missing sound.

I have tested these steps on two different types of machines. It's 
worked each time. Make sure you patch your system, I tried this one time 
without patching and I still did not have sound. Once the system was 
patched and the blacklist was updated sound worked without issue.
