Make sure you have the most recent kernel update installed.  When sound
doesn't work, save the output of the /sbin/lsmod command and have a look
at the /var/log/messages file whether you find something about the kernel
audio driver. Also check http://bugzilla.redhat.com on possible problems
with the i810 audio driver. Or try ALSA, e.g. with the just released
packages from fedora.us.
