I'm running dell 700m. My audio is: Multimedia audio controller: Intel
Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio
Controller (rev 03). Looks quite similar to yours. And the sound is
working fine.

Did you see your device correctly detected by system-config-sound? Is
it your sound muted?
