I must say sound seems a complete gamble to me on my laptop (Sony C1VFK).
It isn't working with the current kernel (2.6.12-1.1390_FC4)
but it did with 2.6.12-1.1387_FC4, and also with 2.6.12 when I compiled it.

I have always found the sound wizard (System Settings=>Soundcard Detection)
completely useless.
If sound is working it makes a noise, and tells you sound is working.
If sound is not working it tells you sound is not working.

Surely it should at least suggest something one might try.
